I think we'll be better off next year than most think. Starting with defense, Mike Daniels and Broderick Binns, and then Lebron Daniel who has playing time, will start the foundation for the D Line. Linebackers will be a year older and a year better. Secondary will be fine, I think no drop off.
Offense, we lose DJK obviously, but have enough talent to be effective, and Vandenberg will develop and be good. We just need to get through non-conference unscathed, and we'll be okay. Plus, we won't have the mental baggage this year's team has.
