Defense will definitely take a step back this year. Hard to replace so much loss of experienced players on D.

You have probably already saw some of the Offense in the Bowl Game as Ensminger ran about 10 different Formations. If you wanted the Spread it was in the Bowl Game. You probably going to see more of those Formations and more. Most OC's like that run about 18 Formations give or take. I think Canada is probably a good OC but the combination of Canada and Ensminger is going to be really special.

Biggest thing will be who will step up? Last year countless big plays on 3rd down were made by Beck, Adams, Riley and/or White. Who does that now in the running game, slicing through dropping someone behind the LOS? Or breaking up a big pass? Talent level is there, but the names aren't as 'known' simply due to PT. I think it will be more challenging for DA, but we definitely have the RIGHT guy pushing the buttons!

. You say that but consider this. Aranda has admitted what we saw wasn't his full package. It was mix of some of his stuff with what the players knew. Now we will get the full package. They may have a few rough patches early with the new starters. But I bet that by mid season they will just as good as last year.

disagree. The interior of the dline is going to be the best it's been a a long time. With or without Key, the dline is going to be great. Will make everything else on the defense look easy.

I actually don't think it will. I think it's going to be even nastier this year.
