Nothing against you personally... but not one single person on this board would have bought this a year ago. I defended Mason a lot after the 2012 year against a lot of people that gave him shite. Hell, after he missed the spring, most here thought CAP would carry the load last year. Some even wanted him moved to the speed-back role.

So before we throw out this "can't be replaced" thing, why don't we actually see what happens on the field first.

This is nothing against those players, but we've been recruiting with the best of them for the past 4 years. So if Gus really is a great coach, we shouldn't see a drop off.

Excellent points. "Cannot" was too strong a word. I have been expecting a good running attack, just not as good as last year. Last year we could bully our way even when the defense knew it was coming. This year likely won't repeat that exact attack, but Gus will brew up something that suits the personnel. That is what makes his team so much fun to watch.

I was a Mason fan from 2012. I said on numerous times that I was a huge fan and thought he would be great. I also think Cap can be great.

In 2012, we had two players on our team that did not quit. Mason and Jonathan Wallace. Everybody else packed it in
