You're correct about the size on the lines. Added some beef! Size and quantity! This teams is definitely changing it's culture into one of more physicality!

Hopefully this weekend I'll get a chance to take a look at the other signing classes in the conference as well.

A lot of transfers and JUCOs. Could be a totally different team from last year. Will be interesting to see where they stand in the GLVC.

They brought in a bunch of help along the defensive front. Dantzler and Franks are difference makers and make the entire rotation so much deeper. Adding them to the mix will mean opposing offensive lines will be in for 60 minutes of hell the entire game, and won't really see drop offs in competition or effort when we rotate bodies.

Likewise, the LB corps got significantly better and deeper. With Inama now the D-coordinator, it remains to be seen how they'll use all of that talent. The previous system only utilized 2 LBs. They may have beefed up their numbers here because they'll need more bodies. I would expect Seers and Rodriguez to be on the field for all 3 downs for sure. Terlizzi, Holmes, Thornhill, and Little could all see significant time as well.


On the offensive side, I would expect that the OL will benefit the most from the new faces. Skill positions will evolve a little from last year, but the new faces in the rotation won't be new on the team. Brister at QB, handing off to Nash and Stack; throwing to Johnson, Rose, and Heneman. I wouldn't be surprised if Josh White made his presence known this year as well. As long as the OL develops the way it should, this could be a VERY dangerous offense.

I fully expect that LU will be competing among the upper echelon of the league right out of the gate.
