... here is the Ewing Theory.
A theory hashed by ESPN.com writer Bill Simmons and his friend Dave Cirilli. It that explains the reason why teams inexplicably become better after their star player leaves the team for any reason (trade, injury, etc.). Two elements must be present for a situation to be explained by the Ewing Theory: 1) The team has a star player who receives a lot of attention but never wins anything, and 2) The star player leaves the team and everybody writes the team off.
I've been saying this about why SCAR will be better after losing Clowney during the entire off-season.
ETA: But of course some Aggie fans seems to think it might only apply to them in the opener, but not SCAR.

Basketball Theory =/= Football Theory
I can't see them having such high scoring games as they did with JFF. He was the offense and the Defense thanks to the wall of points he generated.

The OL isn't really going to drop off... the WR's are just more talented... and the RB's might actually get to run the ball. QB is a question mark, but the talent is there.
On defense the DL will be better as a whole(especially DE), though DT will be worse... the LB's cannot be any worse... and the DB's should be a lot better coached.
We would have been in pretty decent shape overall, but the loss of Golden and Claiborne just destroyed the depth we were building in the front seven. Now, 2015 should show a MAJOR talent infusion on the defensive side of the ball - but they'll still be underclassmen.
A&M loses four or five this year, starting with USC in the first game

Because Sumlin has lead top offenses almost every season he has coached. Spurrier doesn't really have a history of number one overall picks every single year. Sumlin has coached 3 Heisman winning QBs.
