re: Realistic Chances Our Defense Is Better Than 11 Endzone Pylons This Year

I just don't know how anyone can really think all these guys can make an immediate impact. In 2015? I'm drinking the coolaid on it. I think Golden/Mastro/Claiborne/Garrett make up a naaaasty core. Next year? I just don't see how it's plausible we finish better than the 60 or 70th best defense in the country. I would love to be proven wrong, of course.

I just have a feeling we will overperform in what will be a weak SEC West.

My problem with holding onto 2015 as "the year" is twofold:

1. We aren't in a vacuum, LSU and Bama expect those to be huge years for them as well.

2. A good season could simply bury Charlie and put him on the path to a quick firing.

Honestly if Hamm wouldn't have ran off a player we really needed this season I would be all "10 wins!" but he kinda spilled some of my koolaid.
