My hopes/concerns/thoughts for next year:
1) qb play goes up a level with more time in the system. Brandon puts on 10 extra pounds of muscle in his legs and makes the read option a real thing. Though never a running qb, he puts the O in option at a new level.
2) We find a pass rush. Weather by change of scheme (unlikely) or personal we get to the qb faster on passing downs. Transfer portal ferry be good to us!
2b) Neb. And Purdue are ours to win if the rush comes through. We might win anyway, but....
2c) I think our run D will be solid.
3) Not confident about our oline. I'm sorry but I saw drop off from LB to McClain. Maybe it was just personal.
4) Will we find a safety in the portal? Who out of those on the team will establish themselves.
5) Can the LB play become more fundamentally sound? Will all the TE of the big ten abuse us?
6) Where/when does Derick Smith play?
7) how many smurfs does Rod want? And are our edge guys the fastest in the conference? Gotta be up there! Jet Sweep here we come!
8). Lovie love love how solid our Special Teams are since Smith showed up. Hoping for 4 punt or kick off TDs this year.
