On the SOR mention, this quote caught my eye:

"The Flames’ biggest struggles in 2017 were on the defensive side of the ball. Liberty gave up 30.4 points per game while surrendering 448.5 yards of total offense and 225 rushing yards per game. Those numbers ranked 98th, 110th, and 116th, respectively, out of 124 FCS teams."

The second mention that baffled me, “Right now, I love the continuity of our defensive staff,” Gill said. “I think we just got caught up into the depth issue which I think set us back a little bit. We’re going to address all that. (I) feel good about our staff, and moving forward it’s great to have everybody back for another round.”

Excuse me, love the continuity of defense is like describing someone with a great personality but.....With those awful defense rankings of 98th, 110th and 116th, how can one love the continuity? Where is the tough, critical analysis of acknowledging the poor play and wanting to improve. Those figures don't lie. And the scary part is that is against most all FCS games. Those defense rankings in FBS won't equate to 6, 5 or 4 wins. They'll almost certainly be less.
