How I see this year: Floor 5-7 Ceiling 9-3 1. Biggest concerns are OL replacement and DL replacement. 1(a) - our OL was not great last year. Luke was running for his life on more than one occasion and we had the 92nd ranked rushing offense. 12th in the big ten. 1(b) - our DL landed at 40th...

I was just gonna say lol…that being said, I wouldn’t call the white facemask “normal” lol

Hate them. The helmet stripe thickness has changed as has the ratio for the inner-to-outer stripes. The last ones had white letters with blue outlines which matched the helmet stripe (white stripe blue outlines). This inverts it, for seemingly no reason. I am just not a fan. Sorry.

I would hate everything about it. I’d like us to take a look at Kenny Minchey from Notre Dame.
