No QB and No Defense.
Having all of your talent in one place does you little to no good.

A decent point. But they had a heck of an oline and a heck of a backfield. They had a pretty good WR in Marcus Monk and one of the best freshmen TE in the game. I will also point out that Nutt did, in fact, have a pretty good QB at his disposal and chose not to use him.

They also had a few good defensive players as well. See the All-SEC team list. Its not like were that bad.

They finished the season ranked #9 in the SEC in scoring defense. While that seems pretty bad, please note that Florida finished #8, and Arkansas only allowed an average of 1 pt. per game more than the Gators. They finished one spot ahead of Tennessee, the Eastern Division champs.

They ranked 6 in passing D, and 8 in rushing D.

In short, their defense often played well enough to win many games. Seems like the talent was there.
