I think that as long as we can continue to bring in well-rated recruiting classes the overall talent level on the quad will increase and a break through, (of sorts: don't expect 12-0), is inevitable. This season hurt us because we looked bad and because all the resulting grumbling creates rumors that we are about to change the coaching staff again and that kills recruiting. I suspect the impact will not be on this class, from which they'd already had verbal commitments before things went sour, but on the next one and the one after that. That's why it's critical to at least get the train back on the  tracks next year by at least breaking even and getting back to a bowl so 2014 seems like an anomaly.

I think we'll have good running backs next year. I like Phillips and McFarlane. I would like to see more form Morris. But, even more than the quarterbacks, you can't judge the running backs in a year when the line was shredded. It also didn't help that we began the season running bubble screens. People ragged on Gulley throughout his carrer but he wound up having a good one and now people are moaning that we can't replace him. I think Phillips and McFarlane, at least, will turn out tob e just as good.
