[QUOTE="AlphaBuzz, post: 512632, member: 2534"] To address the Tenuta comment above, please know that as much grief as Gailey gets on this board, he adamantly believed that defense wins championships. I heard him say multiple times that he would recruit to replace every position on D, every year. If there was a player who could go both ways, D always got first choice. That's part of the reason why we had a good D and even then we were susceptible to being run out by a really good O. The GT's of the world (and that's most of D1) have to pick a side of the ball on which to excel. We have not historically been able to recruit both sides of the ball with enough depth to compete at a high level consistently. APR hurts us, our limited curriculum hurts us and our academic standards/requirements hurt us. Let's all hope that Collins can break this mold. However, if I were a betting man I would bet that our D improves, our O drops back and our recruiting improves (on paper). We will get more wins on recruiting signing day, but it won't translate to more wins on the field without something special on the offense. Running what everybody else runs ain't special. [/QUOTE]
