Right, but a first round playoff win is basically the ceiling of a defensive team that can't move the ball to save their lives

I don't think our offense will be like this forever. I think it just hasn't been as good as anticipated. If we had the 2023 offense with the 2025 or 2026 defense, we'd be a top 5 team. I truly think it's BV's goal to get us that type of offense, it just hasn't panned out like he thought.

I'm sure it was Lincoln's goal to get us a good defense. Just didn't happen either

I actually disagree there. Riley has been a coach for 9 and a half years now and hasn't produced a single good defense. I'm not sure he is all that interested in truly having a good defense.

BV has been the head coach for 4.5 years now he had a top 5 offense in 2023 and had a top 5 defense in 2025. He saw the formula at Clemson: keep reloading on elite defense and try to lure a solid offense. He's working towards it
