I expect the defense to look well coached but I also expect they'll get pushed around by the better teams on the schedule

less stupid stuff happening and a little more organization will be a huge plus, but I don't have much confidence they can slow down better teams. Hoping they aren't physically deficient in more than 3-4 games.

- There's enough hype about the DL that I buy it. Guys pop all the time after getting stronger in a SC program. LB worries me.* - By Bluebuck August 9, 2026 at 01:52:52 PM
