Agree for the most part, and overall the talent level now is significantly better/deeper than since the VY days. However, our lines are ineffective and our coaching and skill players can't overcome it. That's on Sark in year 5, and an indictment on his recruiting and player development of the lines. At least they tried to fix the DL lack of depth again through the portal. OL? A massive coaching and recruiting disaster. Given the player development success in the first couple years with the old staff's talent, I think we have to at least consider his line recruiting is at best TBD (Def) and likely a huge problem (Off) for this staff. Saturday this was on display married to a bizarre set of game plans on both sides of the ball. PK's game plan seemed to be based on a interior DL he used to have but doesn't anymore tied to an in-game adjustment strategy that seemed to be "let's rotate everyone in, like this is SHSU". Sark continues to game plan and call games for the OB he hopes he has, not the OL he does have. We will see if Florida was a wake-up call for all involved, can they coach up the team they have versus the one they want, can they make effective in-game adjustments, or should we all go buy hunting leases for the fall.
Fifth year, five games in, I'm guessing:

But I hope I'm wrong.
