I love our secondary

[jeffpost]

It is exciting that even though we are losing our top two CBs (who are going in the draft) that the is so much potential in our secondary. This is where I hope the upgrade in recruiting that we have had with DBs starts to show on the filed. There are three keys: (1) Travis and Myrick staying healthy; (2) Buford and Dior stepping up; and (3) getting a better pass rush (especially early in the season) so the group has time to gel. We have some nice true freshmen arriving, but I hope that we can maintain the redshirts on them. It is amazing how much this staff, Sawvel in particular, have upgrade the DB talent.

On a side note, I would not be surprised to see Huff and Coughlin combine for over 10 sacks this next season. I think we score more on offense, which translate to opposing teams throwing more.

I'm starting to feel the same year in, year out confidence in our LB corps too. I firmly believe that Campbell will get drafted this year so that'd make it 2 years in a row of graduating LBs to the NFL and still returning a group that's better as a whole.

We don't rebuild, we reload

Have to add the RBs to this group. We have some serious talent in the backfield (and we didn't need practice seasons either!).

I saw that Ace Rogers isn't likely to get another year because of his injury. I hope they didn't mean this year.

He'll now be a Sr instead of a Jr like they had hoped.

Sucks for him. Fully expect at least 3 safeties in this class and maybe a JUCO in the mix. If Huff or Johnson claim a spot and are dominant, than maybe no JUCO

OLine and staying healthy is now the key. This could be a very very good year for Gopher football

We have a lot of strengths. Just gotta fill a couple weaknesses.

Yup, but if a weakness turns out to be the oline, that means the offense as a whole is a weakness. You can't coach around a bad oline.

pass rush might be sub-par, thus more pressure on the db's.
