...kind of got off track because I was a little overwhelmed by what I thought was improved personnel," Holt says. "Actually, the players are all coming from the same place. What makes the difference is a random factor that can be something you can't even put your hand on. I don't believe any one of us should ever accept that because a team blows another team out it can't be reversed the next time...
