That would be miraculous imo. Harris is definitely the x-factor. If he breaks out we could be really good. If he doesn't and/or if Jennings is Jennings then I could see us match last year or even worse. I think we all get excited for the new year but we have a lot of question marks - both defensive ends gone (leading tackler last year), best linebacker gone (2nd leading tackler), best O-lineman gone, Jalen gone, brand new redshirt freshman at center, brand new d-coordinator with all new scheme, etc. That's a lot of transition.

Our best LB is Beckwith. He should have been starting all of 2014.

Our DEs were solid, but not spectacular. I want someone who can provide edge pressure on a consistent basis.

Our DTs will be our best since 2011/2012.

Awesome up the middle: Lacoutre/Godchaux/Thomas, Beckwith & Mills/Adams. We are set up like a great defensive baseball team.

Beckwith is great. The question mark for 2015/16 is Kwon's replacement, not Beckwith.

I want that too, but this is an unknown on this year's defense.

Remains to be seen, hopefully you're right.

I agree with Beckwith and Adams. Mills is decent but far from awesome. The d-line guys need to prove themselves.

To clarify, I hope you're 100% right on everything. But as I said, this team has a lot of question marks.
