Even though we lost some starters on Defense, I still think we'll be alright on D. Knott and Klein are athletic enough to make up for experience. Our front four should improve, and Parker knows what it's like to play in the Big 12.

I'm exicted to see Reynolds in this offense with a year under his belt (not exactly of playing time, but knowing the offense)

agreed, i cant wait to see if we can pull off an upset in our BS schedule, preferably an upset of texas, that would be awesome, but the game against the huskers at Jack Trice will be great

I think our defense has a CHANCE to be better. Like the coaching staff said, the d-line is going to be bigger and more athletic but not as experienced. Lets hope Nelson and Parker both make it to fall camp. I'm really excited to see what Knott and Klein will do. They have the smarts, size and ability to be very good. And don't forgot about Taufoou. Monty Kiffin said he would be an immediate impact player wherever he went. I love the look of the secondary. Smith will be missed a lot, but I think the others will step it up.

-Reduced turnovers by Arnaud, and the rest of the offense.

-WRs getting separation from guys and getting some YAC.

-Increased pash rush w/the return of R. Parker.

-Steady LB play.

-Someone to step up at Punter, and boot the **** out of the ball.

Espn also said that next year is the year we will get more recruits because of our success from last season. Things are looking up!

I'm excited about the prospect of this team being even better, but I'm not going to predict wins over teams like Utah or even Texas Tech yet. Utah has now become one of the elite programs in the country with their last two huge bowl wins, and I don't know who's going to stop that young TT qb. Not much of a chance against Texas and Oklahoma but we've got a shot in most of the other games, and I'm not going to be surprised if this team and this staff surprises us on the upside again. If AA plays like I think he's very capable of playing, it could be even more fun than this past year despite the brutal schedule.
