Your right Shamrock.

Our success this year has a lot more to do with how the '05 class progresses than how the 06 class does. Sure, the '06 class will contribute, but beyond Hawk probably not much more than on ST. How the sophmores do is more important.

I bet Hawk, Hodge and College all have solid frosh years ala Nick Collins last year. I bet they all are penciled in as starters today.

I predict Hodge will start from day 1 in the middle in camp. He is smart and will be the hard nosed player we needed at Mike since Koonce left

C'mon have you forgotten that ONE good game Bernardo Harris had against Minnesota???

Jennings is going to contribute too....He's better than Murphy IMO and Murphy started to turn it on last year.


I like Hawk, Colledge, Jennings, Hodge and Rodgers/Blackmon as PR/KR...Then many of those other guys and some of these will be hella good special teamers....They got a lot better. I couldn't have imagined it would go this well....We don't know yet but my initial reaction is WOW

I agree, there is a lot of potential there... Poppinga was my favorite pick from last year. The severity of his injury is definitely a set back.

Coston, Underwood, and Montgomery??? It's anybody's guess... a year in the system, another year for their bodies and minds to mature, hopefully two of those guys will step up and contribute regularly from scrimmage, not just ST.

The linebackers had 4.5 sacks last year. Poppinga had two of 'em. I think he was playing stand up DE in a two point stance, but if you don't like his enthusiasm, you don't like football.

Hope his knee heals, it was a bad one as I recall.
