All true about the value of seasoning up the depth chart and that being a big part of the step backwards, but, like Dan, you can't have watched the past five seasons and not see the potential canary in a coal mine here as well. Riley teams degrade as the season goes on, or at best simply don't improve, while the championship caliber programs do as the seasons progress. Presumably it is because we back off physicality in practice in season, though I certainly don't personally know if that is true or not. Either way, there's no body of evidence to have faith that this is part of some grand arc of rising up and getting better through all levels, and more evidence that we just might regress with the passing weeks. Man, I hope this year is different and Dan is wrong.
