Here's some food for thought...

Last year MSU ranked 94th in passing this year, so far 56. That's currently above S Carolina, Bama, Vandy, LSU, Mizzou, Kentucky, Auburn. That's only going to improve! The whole line will return! They are pass protecting very well. They rank 14th in the nation at protecting from sacks. Only UT is ahead of us in that. We will be one of the best passing attacks in the SEC.

Run Game... Again, we return everybody. We do have to improve in that area.

The only questions we are going to have is defense. Everybody knows we have to improve on defense. We return the whole DL except Boyd. We have what was considered the #1 DL in the country sign and play in rotation this year.. We had another top 15 Dl sign and has been in the rotation. Talent wise, we are going to improve on that line.

Our LBs are young. We have one graduating. Should see improvement there.

We are not going to see much drop off at DBs.

I don't see MSU being anything but better next year. The questions:

1- will CDM replace the defensive Co.

2- will the improvements and experience be enough.

The only thing that will actually answer that is time and playing the games.
