the drop off happened. But if you think about it, this has been coming for probably 2 years. Ever since they got run by LSU, they seem to have had a hard time regaining their dominance. They still won games and won the ACC (high bar) but they seem to have regressed by baby steps the last 2 years until this year everything just caught up with them losing their two best players on O. Not the perception I had until I really sat down and thought about it.
