Yeah, biggest concerns for me are 1) Golding, 2) the likely fact that a major ILB talent upgrade didn't walk through the door this off-season, so, even if you thought our ILB issues were primarily talent-based, I'm not sure we have a fix, and 3) Flood, but he's more of a disappointment than a concern, really - we've won with OL coaches who can't really get the most out of our talent, and I'm guessing he'll be more of that.

Agree re: #2. We keep bitching about Mack Wilson, and with good reason, but I'm not sure how you can feel like we are going to upgrade there. Moses should be a year better, so that is an upgrade, but Mack's replacement is either going to be a well trained but less talented upperclassman (McMillon) or a very talented but raw and learning freshman (Lee).

Also agree re: #3. I guess I'm a little more wait and see, as some people seem to think he was a solid OL guy when that was all he did, but I can't seem to find much that backs that up.

Not a single first team Walter Camp All American for Bama. I know I shouldn’t let it bother me but gotdamn it really pisses me off.

JC Latham, Dallas Turner, Arnold or even Downs. They put Starks from UGA, though. That dude is so overrated.

It’s just illogical. These are supposed to be the best players in America yet Notre Dame has like 2 on first team and Old Dominion even has a LB on there. You guys taking Payton from NC St over Dallas? Anyone?

Oh well. Just had to rant a bit over that. It doesn’t matter but it’s still annoying how poor these awards selections are.

At least a few made 2nd team. Latham, Dallas and Kool Aide.
