Well, that's true, but it doesn't apply because that isn't what needed to happen. Our offense changed from a Buick to a twin-turbo hot rod of some kind (fast as hell and puts up all kinds of numbers, but totally unreliable and breaks down a lot). Last year our defense was a plain old Chevy. Not as good as it used to be, but still serviceable and consistent. If it had just stayed a Chevy (and with 9 out of 11 returning starters, that shouldn't have been a trick), we would probably be bowl eligible at the end of the season. But no, Mendoza got a hold of it, loosened all the lugnuts, put sugar in the tank, and hammered a potato into the tailpipe. Bada-bing, bada-boom, we're 1-8.
