Wick, those were good points that you made.
It might also be possible that the problems in our defense were not with those guys who transferred out the P5 programs. The problems could be with rest of guys (either not capable of playing in that defensive scheme or with the scheme itself).
I still recall several years ago, the starting safety (who was also one of the team captains) was a student in my class. In the previous game, one of the receivers was completely uncovered and he tried to chase him down before the guy scoring a TD.
I joked with him before class (how the hell could you let that happened?). He said that wasn’t even his guy to cover. Someone else was missing an assignment in that defensive scheme.
He looked bad in the play, but it wasn’t his fault….. it was the scheme and the other guy…
