and recruiting has been down. We had a couple of good wins and all of the sudden the board has us in the ACC championship game beating Clemson. Then a bad loss and people start freaking out.

We are in the first year of a rebuild. It isn't going to happen over night and we need to show we can recruit well on the defensive side of the ball...especially wrt to linemen.

Everyone needs to calm down and reacquaint themselves with their pre-season expectations. I am still thinking 7 wins plus a bowl game is realistic. I didn't see us as a playoff contender after the good wins and I don't think all hope is lost after a bad loss.
