02 Secondary was very good
Walton, Duff, Earl, and Sapp. Walton obviously was an All-American, Duff was a great athlete, and the safeties were both ball hawks and great athletes.
In 2003, we lost Walton and Sapp and replaced them with with Preston Jackson and Quentin Burrell. Then the next year we replaced Earl and Duff with Dwight Ellick and a young Tom Zbikowski. Willingham also hired a clueless DB coach for 2004.
Combined with slow linebackers, it's clear why things fell apart.
