Lets do this!!!!!!xthumbsupx

I wish I was going to be around town when practice started so I could get a firsthand look at what the team is going to be like this year. I'm quite curious about the QB situation (we should be set with whoever gets tagged to start), as well as the defense. Last year seemed like they didn't have the stopping ability like they did the year before. The run game gave them some trouble at times (consistently gave up 3-4 yard gains on 2nd and 3rd down) so it'll be interesting to see who steps up (other than the usual guys).

You guys have some promise in some of your younger guys stepping up. And Bobby Daly is of course going to help the defense out tremendously. The offensive line and quarterback are the main question marks for me. What are they like this year?

O line should be fine barring injuries, not real deep. We'll be fine at QB but it should be a good battle between Iddins and Oregon transfer Kempt for the start position.
