The people that keep saying that this past team didn't have what it takes, or they had no guts, or that they underachieved, or what have you, simply didn't open their eyes.
Losing your ENTIRE 2-deep at the LB position will kill just about any team. Having a 215lb undersized, inexperienced 18 year old lead your defense doesn't cut it in the B1G. Interesting tho, that undersized 18 year old will be a year wiser, experienced, battle hardened, 232lbs wrecking ball in the fall. Get him a supporting cast at LB and Mike Daniels, Broddick Binns and the rest of our d-line will be fun to see.
