Depends on who is starting at QB next year. If its Thompson or Mitch then the offense will look pretty different than what we've seen since 2010. If Nosovitch earns the job then it will be similar to what we've seen with Shaw starting. Nosovitch is thicker than Shaw and runs the read option well but probably not as quite as fast. He has a bunch of Pennsylvania state records for QB and is probably overlooked by most USC fans as they either expect Thompson since hes a senior to start or Mitch since he was highly rated coming out of HS

On defense were replacing a lot on the dline and at CB but the dline has some experienced backups that should earn starting stops and several highly touted JUCO and true freshmen coming in the class of 2014.

CB will be an adventure next year. Only returning 3 scholarship players and none with any real experience. Still in the running to land 3 big time CB recruits in Wesley Greene, DJ Smith and Chris Lammons in addition to 2 we already have committed, but both that are committed suffered ACL injuries this year and probably would benefit from redshirt years- especially Al Harris who wont turn 18 until hes already on campus.

Best case scenario is it turns out like our LB unit did this year with a rough start but steady improvement as the year goes on. Definitely will be some chances to put up some passing yards early on
