Kyle Love gonna represent today. Then you got big Pern starting for the friggin' Ravens, and Fletcher Cox going pro as a junior??? (Has that ever happened at Moo U) Josh Boyd and Denico Autry will probably follow it up next year. That's probably a big a reason as any as to why we cleaned up on the DL.<div>

on autry. The guys never participated in a practice at the d1 level and you're saying he's probably leaving early for the draft.

Our coaches and some recruiting services say that he's a one and done type of talent. Whether or not that happens, who knows. It's just nice to have a potential game changer at DE this year.

and I'm sure that will be his focus during Spring practice...people thought McPhee might be one and out too- but he needed 2 years to make sure he was ready<div>
</div><div>It's possible he will be gone- but like Cox this season- he's got to make it happen on the field</div>

We've GOT to go after an elite(preferrably high school) pash-rushing end in the upcoming recruiting class. This is one major reason I hate we missed on Ward, because Autry would have bridged the gap to him perfectly. As is, I don't really see us with a current "heir apparent" to Autry from a pass rushing perspective. Anyone on roster(or current signees) that looks to fill this immediate need? We've done great with run-stopping ends(Eulls, etc..) just need a consistent pass rush if we're going to be able to hang with the Arkansas-type of pass happy offenses...

but Big Pern doesn't start. The Ravens run a 3-4 where their there three starting linemen are nose tackles. But he is on the field often, especially when they need a little extra pass rush.
