Message: [QUOTE="Dick_in_MI, post: 5485446, member: 225"] I can't say it's what I expected, but rather more like I feared. I expected a dropoff on the offensive side. I also expected us to be decent offensively, and we actually were. So no real problem there. We performed pretty much as I expected on O. Don't get me wrong; we have a fair amount to improve on, but it was pretty much what I expected. I see some hope. Last year, we ranked in the lower reaches of the ACC defensively. The fact that it was against a somewhat lightweight schedule made it even worse. I expected some legit improvement on that side of the ball (because it was a necessity) but, sadly, feared we would be exposed against a good team. That turned out to be true. So, in the end, I think I saw about 50/50 expected/feared. We have a lot to address on D, we knew that coming into the season, and I had hoped that I would have been more pleasantly surprised than I was. [/QUOTE]
