We lose McCants on offense (Bronson to a slight lesser degree as well) and we lose McGee, Thomas, Wilkins and Hoggins on defense. That's it. We will have 10 starters back on offense,7 on defense and the entire special teams unit.
Aside from the secondary, we will have this entire squad back with a whole year under their belts. Hell, over half of our starters weren't even playing college ball last year. This team is young and still not very experienced. So to be 7-1, when many including myself had us at 6-2 or worse, should be encouraging.
I'm not a fan of how we have looked. At all. And I fear Saturday is going to be another hair-greying day. But the future holds a ton of potential
