First of all, we had a losing record last year for the first time in 30 yrs


And we lost WAY more talent than we gained through the draft. Many positions on the field are questionable in terms of P5 talent. For example, I question whether our QB is a P5 player. Furthermore, if he gets hurt, which is almost GUARANTEED given the runs and injuries to Fuent's QBs, I am confident that we don't have a P5 QB.

Holston is a decent RB at this point, but that's the only RB that I think might have P5 talent. He will get 10-12 carries based on Fuente's rotations. The transfer from Rutgers isn't a RB, in my view, he is a slot player.

Our receiving corps has almost no true P5 talent (Mitchell is a TE). Robinson is ok, but he isn't a legitimate P5 that will make plays against the better P5 teams, as of last year. In fact, he cost us the Liberty game (well, Fuente cost that game but Robinson did his part).

I'm not going to go through the whole roster. We had a losing record last year, and a HORRIBLE recruiting class the year before last and last year. What talent are we bringing in? We added a DT, which was so needed, but that's it. He can't play every position.

So my question is: why would we not have a losing record? We had one last year, and lost way more talent than we bring in. What is going to change to suddenly make this team beat UNC, ND, Miami, or WV in Morgantown?
