we'll still be in good shape. our front 7 will be the strength of the D though, and our OL should continue to improve into next year, giving us a stronger running attack and hopefully more time for russell to find new WRs. plus with our WRs, i don't think we are losing any all world irreplaceable talent.

Don't forget we lose 3 of the 8 deep at D-Line, currently (Boyd, Cherrington, Jones) and our team captain on defense (Cam Lawrence)

Our defense is going to lose a lot of experience for next year and I would really, really hate to open the season against an offense exactly like Troy's, except bigger, faster, stronger, and with a better QB.

Regardless of that rant, I think in the end, our defense will be ok. Mullen is doing a good job at getting the young guys reps right now and that should continue with USA, UK, MTSU, and OM on the schedule.
