Five-Star Recruit
Same coaches. For the most part, same players. A nearly identical schedule.
Under those conditions, how do you go from being a competitive 9-3 team to a nearly unwatchable potential 6-6 or 5-7 (or maybe even 4-8...) team?
This is not a rhetorical question... I'm actually wondering what is so different about this team less than a year after finishing 9-3 in the regular season.
Are guys like Moore, Carriker, Bradley, Jackson, and Taylor really that hard to replace? I mean, not to take anything away from any of them, but I wouldn't have thought so, except for Carriker and maybe Taylor...
Anyone want to jump in on this one? Please, just spare me the stuff about guts and a desire to win. I have no doubt that, at least before the train derailed, this team had plenty of both. They displayed it last year, and there wasn't too much turnover this offseason.
So step back for a minute from the wild emotional rollercoaster ride that is the 2007 season so far, and tell me: what is so different this year?
