We learned that depth is the end all be all in the SEC when it comes to defensive success. A ton of our defensive woes under both Chavis and Snyder are directly related to injuries that can't be overcome due to players not panning out and/or getting kicked out of school.

Well that is probably the worst lesson possible if true. I mean this team was the most talented team by the averaged recruiting rankings that A&M has had this millennium. After the 2014 class goes that average will take a jump downwards. This was as good as we had for a while.

If the answer really is that our best recruiting head coach in decades can't recruit well enough then the lesson might as well be "A&M fans need to lower their expectations about their program."

It's more than depth, you actually have to develop players and get them to play like hell raisers on Saturday. We had an entire 2 deep of experienced players along the DL, and I think it's fair to say half, if not more, disappeared for large parts of the season.
