good points all. what confounds me is that tech had one play to stop, but at least they had more than one player that hurt us - wm couldn't figure out a scheme to stop kentucky either and they only had one player to stop!
wm was certainly not the only problem we had this season, but I feel that with bvg (or some other good dc) as defensive coordinator, we could have beaten bama, definitely would have beaten tech, would have won a number of games more handily, so we'd be looking at probably only losing to FL who seem unbeatable at the moment.
It's all just too frustrating at the moment - what could have/should have been...
