[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 101704, member: 639"] People hate to talk about luck in football, but it plays a big part. We have had several seasons of really bad luck in succession. I would say our luck has been far better this year. However, that doesn't account for it all. I would offer the following about what is different: We have generally FINISHED games in 2014. The only exception being the UNC game where we scored on the reverse and then failed to hold them. The last few seasons were just as competitive, but we routinely failed to finish. Some of the difference is due to leadership among the ranks, but some, I am sure, is due to coach Sisk and physical conditioning improvements. We have gotten turnovers on defense and have managed to hold on to the ball on offense for the most part. The only real exception was the Duke game where our QB looked like a first year player. There is no stronger predictor of success than TO margin. We have benefitted from a TRUE dual threat QB who can both throw and run to great effect. He makes reads and is a true leader. The game has sped up for teams trying to defend us. Having to play faster, mentally and physically, exposes a lot of weaknesses. That is how I see it. We are not radically different from what we have been, but let's face it, the edge is razor thin in CFB between excellent and decent. [/QUOTE]
