Yeah, look at the blue blood reload. Shocking.
So you admit that the returning 20 of 22 on the two-deep was continuing on with the same level of talent with a lot more experience. We obviously didn't lose studs with mizzou's recruiting levels. Yet all that extra experience resulted in the largest single season drop in production that I can find.
I have looked through the last 10+ seasons of stats and I cannot find an FBS offense or defense whose national ranking fell so far in one season. I'd be willing to guess it might be the largest in CFB history.
But hey, we don't recruit bluechips so it is OK.

Brothers was a stud, and amongst the top 5 LBs in th country. Brady was also a big loss.
So was Kul having Pitts steal the playbook and sending it out to the rest of the SEC.

Here is where we disagree. The program's success under Pinkel was predicated on a fundamentally sound two deep of 3rd and 4th year players on both sides of the ball.
Out of Pinkel's last 3 classes(74 total players signed), 31 left the program before exhausting their eligibility. 11 if those were top end players in the class. Those guys not being on the roster results in guys being on the two deep ahead of schedule.
Not even Michigan would succeed losing 41% of its players from a 3 year recruiting span.
