I think it's also interesting to look at the other schools who were in the triple digits in Total Offense ranking in 2008, and see how they're doing today (and to be sure we're talking about 2008, not 2005).  A quick look gives the following schools:

Arizona State
Wake Forest
Duke
Virginia Tech
Auburn
Virginia
Kentucky
Temple
Michigan
UCLA
Mississippi State
Tennessee
Washington
Vanderbilt
Washington State
UCF

I assume they all had to rebuild as well.  Should our pace be considered the right pace?  (we went from 115 to 96 in 3 years).  Of that list, only Tennessee, Kentucky, Vandy still rank below us.  7 teams on that list average over 400 yards per game in 2011.  5 more average 380 or more.  We average 336, but you have to assume that goes up based on who we have left.  It had better.

At this point, I don't even care if we're going to ride out this argument of convenience for the next 5 to 10 years, because it's fairly meaningless.  Just make sure we win more than we lose for now.  Offensively, I'm readying myself for the next group, Terrell Hunt throwing to West, Kobena, Foster, Hale, etc..  Hopefully that's the group that brings more consistent 400 yard efforts, which generally lead to more points.  Defense keeps developing the younger talent as it has been, and we can hopefully talk championships.
