"Q. It’s not that you ever want a senior of his caliber out. The fact you have a lot of inexperience behind him, does that help decide who may be number two, three, four?
COACH FERENTZ: It’s a really young group right now, needless to say. I think we had four seniors last year. You know, it’s a very young group right now. It will give those guys a lot of opportunity to continue to grow. I thought they did a good job in the fall.
Just excited to see how they progress certainly. That makes Keenan the veteran of the group right now, at least when we’re practicing. I think he’ll do a good job. He’ll do a good job in that regard.
It’s kind of that way in the back end a little bit, too. We had some graduation losses there, too. So we’re pretty young right now at both those positions. I think our numbers aren’t great. We’re going to have to be careful how we practice so we don’t overrun those guys, if you will.
Then the other part that leads into that, I think it’s fair to say those are two positions, the back end and receiver position, where younger guys might have a good opportunity coming in. We ended up playing Don Shumpert last year and could have very easily played Kevonte, probably would have, except we had so many seniors, we felt like we could buffer him in there. It will be a good chance for those guys to get some good quality work. Hopefully we have a quarterback out there with them."
