The Mean Green might be closer than it appears to getting back to a winning level. Moving up in weight class to Conference USA might not appear to be a plus, but eight starters return to a nice defense that did a decent job. Linebacker Zach Orr will be among the new leagues top tacklers, and even though top pass rusher K.C. Obi is gone, there are plenty of options ready to step up and do more. All four starters are back to a young secondary with good potential. The offensive line led the nation in fewest sacks allowed, giving up just six all season, and now it welcomes back four starters, only losing center Aaron Fortenberry. Quarterback Derek Thompson is back along with several decent targets, but he loses leading receiver Ivan Delgado. Brandin Byrd and Antoinne Jimmerson form a good running tandem.
