If Mauk does go down we have some experienced and good backups in Berkstressor and Printz, Berks is a 5th year senior and has a great arm, he's big and tough but slow and not mobile at all. Printz is all around good, good size, good arm, good feet, just good, but yea we aren't done if Mauk gets hurt, not by a long shot. Incoming freshman Lock may be Chase Daniel II, but he won't see the field, just too many experienced guys in front of him, red shirt for him this year.

As to the OP...who the hell knows. Probably 4 or 5 teams that wouldn't surprise me if they won the east.

Jagd, I agree about our backups. As backups (not comparing them to other starters), I think we are fairly solid. Printz hasn't separated himself but Mauk was also pretty much handed the reins and it was a foregone conclusion. I also think, Berk, as a 3rd string, is capable. It's not fair to compare a #5 starter to a
#1 starter in a pitching rotation.

Unless you're the Cardinals.

yea I left out QB Zanders also, who I would like to see doing some slot duty, with his arm, he'ed be the perfect flea flicker back. I see no way he passes Printz on the depth, so if he wants to see the field, well...

But I'm fairly excited to see what Barry Odom is going to do with the defense, he's going to have plenty of good pieces to move around, theres no question about TBJ, but we'll see what the other new guys like Frazer and Abigasmere can bring. After the number of times I watched Stec blow a 3rd and long with his full house blitz calls, I feel like we're really going to be in for a treat. Nothing against Stec, I really like the guy, a marine with a sense of humor is a great thing to have on the team, but him as a top DC mind.. not so much.

The schedule works out with 3 tuneup type games before we have to open against UK, so it's going to break in our favor again. I'll admit I too was depressed about this season for awhile, but now, I completely "see it". We've got this!
