Should we be concerned about complacency setting in?

Should we be concerned about complacency setting in?

By Brian's own admission he got complacent after the '15 season. I've always imagined Brian on the plane home from the Fiesta Bowl calculating, or maybe proudly being informed by Jack, that only four teams played Ohio St. closer than we did. Combine that with the epic wins over Temple and Navy and who could blame him for feeling that there were no worlds left to conquer and letting things slip. If that was his reaction to a 27-12 run from '13-'15 what level of effort can we expect coming off a 33-5 stretch that included two playoff appearances?
