Yeah, and I think that's what you have to look at. We know last year's worst was pretty terrible... as far as needing to be motivated, etc; it's the same discussion just about every year for a lot of teams.
I think this team is more talented, but at the same time, the matchups might be more important this year than previous years since they haven't really proven they can pull games out of their ass.
This team probably doesn't make it to the championship game against Kentucky a couple of years ago, but they probably would have had a better shot at beating them.
If they start really bringing it on defense, they can beat anyone.
