Not going to be able to make it to the OSU/VT game Jimbo...they didn't give but 3000 tickets and the list was long apparently. Either way I hope its a good game and not a full on slaughter - you guys have just about everyone returning this year and we may have a top 5 defense but the offense has many question marks.
I wouldn't be so sure about that ... the Defensive line should be very good, Urban's working on a line like he had in 06 at Florida and it may turn out that way, however, the linebackers and secondary are all Soph and Freshmen.
The O line had to replace 4 starters from last year and Braxton has yet to throw a pass in full speed action since his shoulder surgery from the Bowl game.
It will be interesting to see these guys grow.
Carlos Hyde is now with the 49ers, that said, I feel pretty comfortable at RB as Elliot and freshman Chris Samual have looked good in spring ball, Elliot played last year spelling Hyde.
We also have our "Decoy" Dontre Wilson to get into the flow of the games this year, so the other teams don't know where the ball is going every time he steps on the field.
Lot of question marks on the D side (outside of the line) and the O Line, other than that I think we should be alright.
The Va Tech game will/should show where we stand as a group coming together.
The D line was very young last year as well, Urban's getting the freshmen playing time whenever he's able.
How Braxton comes along , if his shoulder is really ready to go will be a huge key.
