Here is some of my realistic expectations for 07: On offense, Mike Ford will not be the second coming of Reggie Bush right away. This is not some CC, it is Big East football now and these defenses are getting better every year.  We need patience and should expect Ponton and Plancher to carry the load at least for this season.  Also, Grothe will not be able to play every game, so it is up to Grant Gregory to solidify the no. 2. On Defense, expect Mike Jenkins to rebound with a great season and Trae to fall off just a little bit.  I expect us to have one of the best cornerback tandems in the nation.  The LB's will not be as bad as you think.  Aside, from Moffitt being back, Tyrone McKenzie will be the become the best transfer player in USF history...better than Andre Hall.  He is a machine.  I have met him also, he's very nice will be a leader sooner rather than later.  On the other side, Sam Miller and Brouce Mompremier are really not as big of a drop off as people think.
