Yes, they're very good, but they don't seem to have the drive to be great like a few of Self's other teams, to really take that next step and separate themselves from everyone else ('08, '10 and '12 stand out to me). A consistent effort level, particularly on the defensive end, just hasn't been there all season. The youth no doubt has a lot to do with it.
