This year we are contending for the NC, you heard it here FIRST!

i hope youre right wwb. but i still think we are a year away from talent and maturity. if everything comes together we have a shot but i just dont see it yet. but with our schedule who knows....

He showed us last year that he is tough as nails. He has my respect. If he can make quicker decisions he will be great. If he is willing to come lead the team after last year than he is the man.

I have no worries about JC for next year. He was running for his life almost every plan. If he can get some time and allow the WR to run their routes he is going to be putting the ball right in their hands, between their numbers and if they don't want to catch it he will just whip it in their face mask so they don't have a choice.

Last year before the WR could even break out of their route he was running for his life or already on his back. We are going to be just fine.

Agreed. Clausen is the least of my worries. He'll be just fine and I hope Christ redshirts. My biggest concerns are obviously the offensive line and the depth of the DL. I think with Tenuta's aggressive style of defense, we may be able to hind the depth problem of the defensive line. It was no secret last year where our biggest problem was; I think our coaches and players will be focused on correcting it. If we can run the football and stop the run, we'll be just fine. We have the skill players to compete with anybody in the country.

I just hope JC stays healthy and gets sum protection...if he went down it would not be good. It will be interesting to see if DC can beat out ES for the backup QB job. From what I've been hearing Dayne wants to play now and he will definetly give Evan a run for his money...I hope we can afford to redshirt him though than he will be polished come his junior year and we won't miss a beat.

I am confident our OLine will be a major improvement from last year. Jimmy should have a break out year.
