Are we going to be better? Worse?
Gotta think the D will still be pretty nasty. Just becoming a perennial strength now under Hank. Our backers are going to be awesome. We lose Lancaster, which is huge, but our DL depth is pretty strong. Gaziano is going to be a terror and we have a ton of ridiculous DE depth. I like Jordan Thompson and we've rotated in a bunch of bodies at DT that I am not to worried that someone will step up. Lose a ton in the secondary though - Igwebuike, Quiero, McSheppard (not to mention Watkins), though we did get a lot of reps with the underclassmen given the injuries. Will be interesting to see who steps in at the other safety opposite McGee and I guess it will be Mayo or Williams (maybe Bullock?) opposite Hartage.
Offensively - well you have Clayton, who assuming comes back strong from injury, will hopefully finally blossom into that senior QB with all the skills and intangibles. We lose JJTBC, but I'm not worried at all with Larkin and Moten succeeding. The OL hopefully improves *shudder* with 4 starters returning (having to find a center to replace North) and most of our WRs are back, including hopefully Jalen Brown. Gotta think the offensive actually improves next year.
Could we win the West and even the B1G next year?
Questions in the secondary are the biggest IMHO, magnified by a new coach there.
What say the rest of you?
