    Schuster: Is he ever healthy? No. Am I overly hopeful because the reports of his training camp every year are positive? Of course. It's simply gut feel but I would feel better about him starting or at least getting serious reps more than most of the newcomers.

    Interesting. The way this is worded is maybe he can transfer and get cleared at another program.

    Just listening to Bielema's press conference now; Interesting nugget that he seems higher on the tight ends and lower on the WRs. Both comments seem to me more about depth, where he seems to trust more tight ends than he expected and less WRs than he expected to play meaningful reps.

    Generally, I have too many concerns on both lines to be over the Vegas line on the season. I'm also dubious about this defensive scheme being a success, especially in year one. Overall, it's a re-tooling year and going 7-5 a year after pushing all of their chips in would be incredible. I'm sure...

    This is odd. I do not understand how this helps the civil case.
