Well, until we have a good defense under Drink, we haven't had a good defense under Drink. Odds are it has to improve this year because last year was so historically bad. It would be great if it goes from worst-in-country to actually being good (top 35 or so) but I'm going to wait and see.

Drinkwitz finally got a good enough DC. He is lights years better than the last two. Also, he does a good job as a LB/S coach. That is where defense shall improve. There are some glaring questions. Are the OLs and DLs being much improved and have good back up and depth? Then can the quarterback get the offense going regularly? I know Sam Horn will be a huge upgrade but not ready right now. Next year but we need good OLs to protect the quarterback and help open up holes for the running back(s). We are talking about SEC level of talents. Drinkwitz will need to find a way to get wins this year. 8-4 will do it. Any less than 8 wins may hurt getting some really good OLs and DLs. It does matter to keep up with the top teams that recruit at the top 10 every year.
