You said Calloway and Bethel will be here next year. Can anybody confirm this or have insight on this? 

Bethel is starting at USF next Semester and all signs point toward Calloway being back for next season.

We add more experienced depth at WR with Valdes-Scantling who has 2 years under his belt at NC State. Also Clerveaux will be back although no game experience. 

Austin Hudson has a full year of Big Ten experience at S. 

I feel good about DL as the coaches did a good job of getting young guys like Love and Bronson getting exeperience and both contributed  also mix in some of the highly rated recruits like Mayes and Calloway  should be ok  

My only concern is OL.  Its always the hardest position to replace because it takes time for that group to perform as a unit.  On paper the athletes we have look good, but time will tell

...has what?  Good take; but I'd like to read why you think OL isn't a concern.  I think it could be a big factor.

... has to come together quickly next year.  They could be bigger, but with quite a bit less experience.

OL will be the biggest concern. The run blocking was solid, but pass blocking was still suspect. Flowers running around made it seem better than it truly was.

LB - We keep them all, and the addition of Cherry could be our next NFL LB

 

We do lose Tashon Whitehurst.  He was a nice contributor, but overall the LB position will have a lot of talent and depth.

Ahh, the benefits of having a mobile QB.

The WR position will be the most critical.  Yeah, we have some transfers getting ready to play, but can anyone step up and be a legit threat like Adams?  

To me, that's the biggest question going into the 2016 season.

Like a broken record - Gotta win the line of scrimmage. We lose a lot of experience on both sides of the ball, but there is potential.

WR's that WILL catch the ball. Way, way, way to many drops this year.

Find somebody that can put the ball in the endzone on KO's. Would the NCAA let our guys work with Connor Barth?

I'd rather our guys work with Robbie Gould than Connor Barth, after yesterday.

Really, the only WR threat we have is Adams.  This is a pretty big problem and hopefully someone else will step up.  We have a lot of potential at that position but no real production.  

The offensive line is sort of in the same boat because we need the three new guys to step up.  I trust the coaches on that one.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
