That was back when Tech was winning national championships, so maybe a good omen.

The only way they could look faster is if those stripes on the sides of their pants tapered as they went down, ensuring good aerodynamics and a fresh new look.

I think resilient as a descriptor is reserved for white football players. The black synonym is aggressive
Wrong. Resilience is coming from behind to beat a team who you're favored to beat by two or more touchdowns.

You're probably also not considering game control or strength of schedule when evaluating this team.

Aggressiveness, though, when combined with SEC size and speed, should mean a top ten ranking along with nine other teams from your conference.

I think "aggressive" is the synonym for "scrappy". The synonym for "resilient" is probably "high IQ guys".

aggressive <---> scrappy
resilient <------> 'nose to the grindstone' / worker type
elusive <-------> deceptively fast
two star <------> underdog "chip on his shoulder" type
team player <-----> a "glue guy"
