Everyone knew Montgomery would be a beast, but I thought Downs was the next best player in that line up. Just hasn't panned out that way though. (I know he's had injuries, etc. I'm just saying.)

Yes the 2009 class was the best ever and not likely to be equaled this year even if we get who we go after.

D-line wins championships. Most important area of recruiting in college ball. It makes everyone elses position look better.

Offense looks better because they just keep getting the ball back.

Look at how our biggest weakness last year on the entire team (LB) was not really ever exposed and exploited simply because the DL was doing half of their job for them all last year.

If you have the best d line then all offenses you face are going to have an up hill battle and it makes it harder for them to keep you off balance and a step behind.

We need RN and the rest of those guys if we want to be in contention for the NC as the rule and not the exception.

He was good as a FR and SO and then he started to get injured and he slowed down because of gaining too much weight. He got stregth but lost his speed.
