[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 195912, member: 1191"] What I am saying is that looking solely at W-L is simplistic and futile if you want to truly evaluate a team. Think about this: 1. Our OL play was terrible. 2. We lost multiple RB's to injury, so much so that by midseason, the guys starting weren't even on the two deep last spring. 3. Our best defensive player was ejected for most of one game and lost for the season a few games later. 4. We had walk-ons getting significant playing time at AB at one point. 5. We had a freshly converted DB playing AB mid-season. 6. Due to heavy graduation of offensive skill players and ensuing injuries, we started more freshmen than almost any school in FBS. (5th most) 7. We lost our starting QB for the Miami game. 8. One of our two starting WRs left the team mid-season. 9. Projected All-ACC DT JHD was suspended mid-season and left the team. 10. I could keep going, but I'll stop here... Now, in spite of all this, we were in a position at the end of game to win in 7 of our 9 losses. Pitt had to connect on a career long FG to beat us. UNC didn't make a comeback until Gotsis was ejected from the game. (We were stopping them cold prior to that) We were competitive in every game save two with a mostly inept offense. Had not 1-10 above happened, I might agree with you, but you cannot conveniently dismiss the multitude of misfortune that chose to rear its ugly head this season. I can't blame al of that on coaching. [/QUOTE]
