A lot of people don't realize that Selvie hurt his back during the FAU game but due to lack of depth on the d-line and Selvie's toughness he still played through the pain. If you noticed there was a marked decline in his performance after the FAU game.

That doesn't just sound like a USF green/gold colored glasses analysis.  I'm a bit surprised and hope he doesn't read/believe what it says.  The double teams will still be there and he will have to make a huge effort every play.  No question about the talent and great jump off the ball.

I think his production reduction in the 2nd half of the season had as much to do with double teams as tiring, and injuries.  Selvie was banged up in the 2nd half of the season and wore down from excessive use.  Adding Bedford, and hopefully a few other options should help reduce his use and increase his productivity throughout the year.  Not to mention he's bigger, and stronger than last year and preparing for the extended play.

Concerning J. Buie this is it, his money year, i expect big things if he can beat out Bedford

You got it backwards, Bedford has to beat out Buie.  Jarriette is a two year starter, and has made some big plays for us in that time.  Bedford is not walking in as a starter, especially since he just got on campus.

Little known fact was that Selvie played at 232 lbs last yr and was still blowing up OTs....this year he's about 10-12 lbs heavier....he's finally listed as his true weight at about 242 lbs.

Yeah I remember him missing plays in that FAU game and battling those problems the rest of the season.  Too bad since he was on pace to break the sack record.

The other side should be better this year, as others have said.

Rumor has it he is now over 7 feet tall and spits nails and craps thunder!

Seriously I love the energy and effort this kid gives and hope he can stay healthy and continue playing great.

But if he can't, then we'll have the man who beat Buie on the line. I'm ok with that too.
