Just look at the losses we'll have to deal with.

Rebuilding an offensive line, still have no good running backs, losing the top receiver in VT history, and that's just offense.

On defense we lose Stroman, who I believe is our best corner in since Fuller, and Facyson, probably Alexander. Then we lose Motu, likely Tr. Edmunds, and possibly big Tim. Those are major losses on the defensive side of the ball, and we don't have the secondary depth to reload there. Not to mention we kicked Motu's heir off the team.
