Gone is QB Derek Thomson, who threw for 2896 yards with 16 TDs and 13 INTs last year, while leading the Mean Green to a solid 31.8 ppg last year. JUCO Josh Greer looks to take over the QB duties, but who will he get the ball to, after their top 2 WRs have departed and just 1 player is back that caught more than 16 passes last year. Carlos Harris is the top returning WR, catching 47 passes for 553 yards last year. The running game loses 1000 yard back Brandin Boyd, but Antionne Jimmerson and Reggie Pegram are back after combining for 784 yards and 13 TDs last year. They will be running behind the top rated OL in the conference and the 26th best in the nation. The defense last year allowed just 17.8 ppg, which was 8th in the nation, but this year just 4 starters are back, including just 1 in the front 7, so they should take a step or two back this year. They did recruit the 15th best LB in the nation in Anthony Wallace, who transferred from Oregon, and that means that the LB Corp will be very solid, but the DL is still one of the weakest Conference USA. The secondary is the clear strength of this defense, with 3 starters back, including James Jones, who had & PBUs and 1 INT last year.
