Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 2306753, member: 485"] Thanks for all that data. The defense in 2015 was ridiculously young - same core 4 or 5 in the front seven as we have now. I see the recruiting as making a big difference to the D but it is a lot of jucos and grad transfers, plus a sprinkling of Babers's 2016 recruits (Foster, Bradshaw, Black, Coleman). Those additions plus the LB core and DTs are now 4th year players. The offense is lagging due to the OL, lack of a premier RB, and missing AET. Riley may be a decent replacement for Estime. I am not sure the stats will show that (given 300 yds rushing vs CM) but you can see that we get very little from basic runs and need to rely on Dungey and the odd play from a change of pace back. To get to 4 ACC wins we need the defense to continue to improve and we need some breaks with turnovers and specials. [/QUOTE]
