If you would have asked me to make a top 10 list of guys who would be in line to make an immediate impact back on signing day, I don't think Krasniqi would have been on that list.
Testament to his hard work, and to our glaring need on the DL.

Yeah losing English was a kick to the nuts when it comes to DT depth.

Seems like detriment to not move Young back to the middle, but I trust the coaches.

Have we seen this decision made yet?  I was under the assumption they were going to move him to the nose.

Everything Vito has been indicating is that TJ will start at Nose, and Young at DE, even with English out.

Seems like a complete and total head scratcher to have a true freshman backup the nose with a solid 2 Deep at both DE positions, even without Young.

Tony is one big dude.. I thought he was a skinnier  guy on tape, but I saw him recently and he is built in the shape of English, just not up to the weight of English..

Interior linemen will eat Krasniqi up. There is depth at DE. Young needs to be moved. This is not a very good decision. I would like to trust the staff, but when TJ isn't in there we'll have 240lb man at nose. What's there to trust in that scenario?

He's listed as 249, which makes him more like 250 than 240. Every time I've seen him in scrimmages, he's done a good job of clogging up the middle. Which is all he really needs to do for us at this time.

      What is this program missing?

      I hate to help you out in any way, but Houston had some pretty signature wins back in the 60's that got them noticed. They beat #3 Michigan State 37-7 in 1967, in 68 they tied #4 Texas and #7 Georgia, and beat Tulsa a NCAA record 100-6. Those were the days of Warren McVea and the veer.

      We can hate on him but I do think he makes solid points. It is somewhat helpful to have an outside perspective that isn’t drinking the green kool-aid. (Although it crosses a line if that person starts kicking us while we’re down-which I don’t think he’s done in this post). So this offseason/next year looks like the following: -give morris another year to see what he can build -hire a new defensive coordinator -hopefully hang on to Chandler Morris and Sheffield -pray for a healthy RB room Anything I’m missing? This year: Still think a bowl win gives the program some momentum going into next year. Maybe my expectations grew too large after that 5-1 start, but man there was a glaring need defensively that was not addressed. The offense has also just fallen off a cliff.

      My son likes the basketball games more than the football games because they are quicker and not an all day affair like football has become with the television time outs.
