Nice write-up.

It will be nice to play Clemson, but the REAL season starts the next week.

The JUCO corner (McCord) looks like he will be a real player. I was impressed by him in the Spring game. My biggest concern about our defense is athleticism by our linebackers in the open field. I just didn't see them make enough plays and pursuit will have to be major emphasis for our defense. If we leave them one on one, our defense will continue to give up points.

The place I think you will see the biggest improvement is in our coverage teams. I look for our kickoff and punt coverage teams to be much improved. The heavy recruiting of JUCO defensive kids and the number of redshirts on defense from a year ago should really help our special teams.

Like the article says, I think our O-line will be one of the best in the conference. Coach Leftwich did an outstanding job when he was here before, and has revamped a line that was getting pushed around when he came back. Last year, I started to see the LOS going in the correct direction. Also, the inclusion of a TE (something Dodge has added to the offense since his Carroll days) really helped.

How long till Rice comes to town???
