re: Todd Grantham State DC?

Returning 4 starters from a defense that was not very good. Its a rebuild job, but there is some talent. State went 6-7 and lost three games on the final play of the game and another by a FG. The schedule is more favorable next year - 8 wins should be the floor.

Might want to reign in those expectations. Grantham asks a lot out of his guys schematically. If you don't have experienced guys, there are going to be substantial growing pains.

An underrated part of his Louisville situation was that not only did he inherit a successful and experienced defense, but he also got to add two DBs that left Georgia and had a couple years of experience in his scheme. Harvey-Clemons was especially important.
