Yes, the Defense let you down in 2013, but it was the only reason you were in the other two games.

I don't think anyone is disagreeing with you.
Coaches can be good coaches and lose games and coaches can be bad coaches and win games.

IF the W-L target is (arbitrarily) 13-2
and..
If Maryland's coaches had Bama's 2014 players...
and Bama's coaches had Maryland's 2014 talent...
Who would get closer to the target record?

The optimism comes from the fact that the defense won't falter immensely. And that we'll get that one "Cam Robison" who will push us over the edge.
