Glad you made it over here, Danno! Spring game was promising. The defense looks to be much improved, but we really won't know to what extent until we play someone other than ourselves. We've got some depth issues on the defense, though, so it could be a tough transition season. As far as offense, our running backs are by far the best and deepest position on that side of the ball, and possibly the entire team. We've got two really solid options and some pretty good prospects behind them. O-line is a big question mark, and it has been for years. The staff has said that they'd like to see more progress along the line, but it will get better.
The biggest issue on the team right now is at QB. Smith leaving early for the draft hurt a lot, but Thompson transferring was arguably harder to stomach. We all knew there was a chance that Brett was going to declare, but no one saw the Thompson transfer coming. Right now we're running with a career backup Rs Sr., an untested So., a Sr. that's been playing WR for the past 3 years, and a So. JUCO transfer that just isn't picking up the D1 game as fast as we thought he would. We've got 2 Fr. QBs coming in the fall, and many of us on here are betting that one of them will be the starter next season.
