Message: [QUOTE="nzm136, post: 2276778, member: 2531"] The biggest benefiting factor for the defense will be an increase in offensive efficiency. Sustained drives will give breathers (help in fact), and they will cut down on the opponent's offensive possessions (help on paper). Playing w/ a lead will also help a lot. However, the name of the game this season is recruiting. We will do well if our recruiting picks up, and we will fail if it doesn't. Next season (season 3) is where wins start mattering a LOT. Wins always matter, but if we can't start winning significant games in year 3, we have a significant problem. ("Significant" doesn't necessarily mean "beat FSU on a consistent basis," but it probably does mean "beat teams like Pitt more often than not.") [/QUOTE]
