Correct me if I am wrong, but with the exception of Bo (big exception), weren't we relatively healthy for the entire season including the win over Pitt? It seems, looking back, we were charmed that year at how quickly the talent we did have turned around 2011's embarrassments against Bama and LSU. CHF surprised us all by getting that 2012 team to the postseason.
In contrast, it seems we have needed a MASH unit near us for both the last half of 13 and 14, tearing pages from an already weakened playbook after each game. Still, we were in the 2013 Schtate game, showing the heart CHF had continued to instill in the players.
So, a lot of improvement we might see in 2015 could be a direct result of simply being healthier than last year, which could he helped by better depth alone.
Thoughts?
p.s. I remember that after the 2011 Bama game Neal wrote that the Tide tried to stop scoring but couldn't. That was one of his better lines IMO.
