What do you think will be the toughest to overcome? Losing Cam? The ridiculous O-line? Fairley?

I think we'll be "fine" in every position you just named, but the biggest dropoff will be at QB..

I have a feeling Frazier will get the job at QB, AU is going to need some wheels back there with a green 0-line

Defense.

Again.

We just *have* to take a step up on defense and improve significantly in that area over the last two years.

We'll get offensive production. We just have to start being able to stop people. We were a good 2nd half team last year, but playing from behind (because of the defense) is always a high-risk proposition.

It may be counter-intuitive to expect IMPROVEMENT on defense in a year we lose some DL anchors and key-starters at LB. But we *upgrade* in talent at each of those positions (save Fairley).

So will the defense finally put it together? I think we'll finally see a depth of talent that takes us in that direction. And a small step that way will be significant.

DT depth

I think the o-line will be solid as long as Grimes is coaching them.

Trotter has got some wheels. Not nearly like Cam but he can move.

1. Continued lack of respect from the college football world.

2. Probation

3. Death penalty

4. Injuries

If they don't I would really like for AU to try to hire Whitt Jr from Green Bay.
