No doubt, yet won't they make a run in the pac 12? Maybe 3rd? Haven't really looked at their teams this year.
This lsu type team, along with wanting to go back home, is why wilcox isn't at UT anymore.

Sark has things moving along nicely given where they were, but they are still a far cry from competing with Oregon for the north.

Kind of what I was getting at when I started this thread. Question is..... is it talent or Wilcox's coaching that is the problem against power running teams?

Both. He can try to scheme in the pac 12, get creative, and try to stop a player. Can't really scheme when people blow you off the ball and you can't do anything about it. He doesn't have that worry out there.

I'm probably being to hard on the guy. It just bugged me to see our defense dominated by something that is so traditional. If he had Mccullers and a more experienced Couch, the results might have been better.

Lsu and bama were like playing pro teams, and we had Joseph ayers in there.
He just saw what was ahead and would rather try and stop the spread and be home.

He does against teams that can actually win the pac 12.

Put Orange jerseys on washingtons D and it looks just like the game in neyland last year. Just get 5-6 yards each play, pound it, watch the clock run and watch the D body language. People call it quit, but sometimes when you are beat down that bad, its hard to have the energy to keep getting your ass beat.

Where are all the Wilcox>Sunseri honks? UT significantly traded up.

This game didn't say anything about Wilcox. And I'm no Wilcox honk, glad we have sunseri, but it wouldn't matter if udub had Brian billick in the box, they were gonna get waxed.

Oh I don't disagree that he's limited by personnel and I believe he's an adequate DC and likely future HC candidate, it's just some of our resident geniuses were blindly asserting that an "inexperienced" Sunseri couldn't hold a candle to him. That's plainly far from reality. Sunseri's aggressive, risk-taking schemes, and his fiery, motivating demeanor are a much better fit for UT and SEC play. There will still be a learning curve as the opposition stiffens, but it's evident already that Wilcox leaving for UW was a blessing. In fact, (yes, it's still early) aside from Coiner, all the coaching changes have thus far been an improvement.

I will say this, at some point in time its no longer the players fault. Wilcox has yet to prove that he is a top notch def. coordinator. So far, I would say he is average, but with potential. The potential being, that maybe he hasn't had the talent up front to fully install his scheme. Time will tell what kind of coordinator he really is. He should have stayed at UT where he was already building and installing.

The hat still has a bad habit of playing down to the level of the competition. They've had more than their fair share of struggles with pac teams, but always win

Big whiffer. This is the first LSU season under the previous few regimes I can remember where they haven't played down to their competition.
