You're talking about defensive identity, but California hasn't had a real defensive identity since the days of the old Pac-10. Stability only matters if the scheme actually works. We had more defensive discipline under Coach [name] in the '80s with half the talent. The ACC might be open, but banking on a system without difference-makers is how you get picked apart by a team with a real playmaker, something we understood back in our '92 conference championship run. These modern stats like SP+ are just fancy numbers. Defense is about heart and toughness, something you can't install from a playbook.
