One can say what they want, but Coach O inherited a rebuilding project thanks to some not so good recruiting in some areas by "Mess Miles". Miles's talent and character evaluation skills were also apparently deficient. Consequently, we're thin in some areas and it is going to take a couple of good years of recruiting to shore that up. We have a new OC and it will take a good year to start seeing results (as in next season). Then there is the thing about player attrition with a coaching change and it would have happened regardless of who was HC. Programs go through cycles. We're not exactly in the valley just yet, but we're sure as hell not at our peak and haven't been in at least five years. It will take time, hard work, patience, and a little luck to get back there.

I'm sure you posted this before the State game, right?

Let's see it.

Lets take a look at your thoughts a few months ago when someone asked about us possibly making the playoffs this year.

Perhaps, but every time you take on Bama or some Big 10 team, it is essentially a war in the trenches. Bama has depth on both sides to where when one line rotates out another can come in and there is little to no drop off in quality of play. We have to build that same kind of depth to be able to handle those kinds of teams. It is also the reason that Bama is steamrolling many on their schedule. We held them to 10 points until we ran out of gas. If we had had more depth, it would have most likely been 3 points and it would have been a matter of winning on field goals.
