IMO, what creates parity in football, and pretty much any college sport, as much as parity can be created in football, is open access to, and use of, advanced training techniques.  It's an area where there is no excuse for not keeping up with the Jones's.

It's simply one of those things that you cannot fall behind in. Training as well as the next guy is a fundamental to participation. If you're not doing it well, you may as well not show up.  Our S&C has seemed spotty over the past decade. This is going back a while, but we had that one year where skill position players bulked up too much, and lost speed. We have had issues with basketball players not gaining any strength. Yet we've also had super freaks like Dwight Freeney.

We can build statues and dedicate rooms, and have hallways with large backlit photos of past greats, etc. Fine. However, the one thing we need to invest smartly in, is the S&C program. I'd rank it right up there with spending big bucks on a proven OC.

Injuries happen, but they happened to us at an alarming rate this year. So alarming, that Clemson fans didn't even believe they were real. Injuries are often a result of poor preparation, as much as they are pure bad luck.
