Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 12349, member: 204"] I agree with you. Taking an SEC team down to the wire on the road in the second game of the season is a probably not a disaster. You have to recall what DeLeone has to work with this season: (1) not one QB who played last year; (2) the loss of three starting OL from last year; (3) the loss of Jordan Todman and his 1700 yards rushing last year and (4) inheriting an offense that despite having an experienced OL, QB and very good RB, was still pretty inept in 2010 - I'm pretty sure the offense didn't score a TD in the last few games last year. Though the Orange clearly had QB problems at the end of the P era, the offense moved the ball with guys like Reyes and Rhodes. The problem in those years was primarily the defense, which you will recall couldn't stop Walter Washington of Temple or Calvin Johnson of Ga Tech in the final 2004 season. [/QUOTE]
