It's almost an entirely new group of contributors, many of whom are still young and/or inexperienced.  The gap in physicality and mentality between guys that are 18-19 and ones that are 21-22 (or older given the COVID reset) is vast.  Winning at this level is a learned trait (and its a combination of mentality and physicality).

How many grad students, seniors, and juniors are contributing right now?  Compare that to what is being run out at the teams that are beating us.  Compare that to what's on the field at UVA and Notre Dame.

I think the team has it's level- ahead of pretty much all mid majors, but a notch below the major programs, and two notches below the best programs.  Let's see what the progression is next season and the one after.  Win the next three. And then find a way to win two or more out of Princeton and the remaining ACC games without being completely blown off the field, and I'd call it a successful step forward.
