Coming off consecutive disappointing seasons that featured numerous losses against average teams, there's one stat that, on the surface, may not seem beneficial.
However, considering how toxic the climate has been since losing to Pitt in 2017 -- to the tune of a 13-16 record since Thanksgiving weekend of that year -- perhaps it's encouraging that just 30 players have been on campus for two or more seasons.
The majority of the team arrived since Diaz assumed control and perhaps have not been jaded yet.
Of the rest, there are several among the 30 who have performed well despite the middling overall level of play from the team (offense) since 2017.
While not likely, it's possible that there's still time for Diaz to diagnose and work toward fixing the culture that's doomed this program for too long.
The dirty 30:
QB Perry
RB Harris, Burns
FB Parrot
WR Harley, Few, Wiggins, Pope
TE Jordan, Mallory
OT Herbert, Hillery, Campbell
OG Donaldson, Scaife, Reed
C Gaynor
DE Rousseau
DT Ford, Silvera, Miller
LB McCloud, Jennings, Steed, Joyner
DB Carter, Ivey, Blades, Frierson, Hall
