I've seen this discussion elsewhere, and it's sort of interesting to read the rankings and comments. Rank QB, RB, O'line, WR, D'line, LB, DB, Special Teams. Which is ISU's strongest through weakest and why?

Fans here seem comfortable with QB and RB, so I'd expect them to lead the list. Let's see ...

1. WR- not even close. Loaded. Lazard, Butler, Jones, Ryen, Eaton, Murdock, Epps, D. Johnson, J. Martin, Akers, Milton, J. Johnson... all these guys can play.

2. RB- Montgomery and Warren are proven starters. Johnnie Lang looks to be the real deal, and Croney is having a real good fall camp too. If Kene can come off injury, then this position is very loaded.

3. CB- Peavy and Payne are All Big 12 type players. Azunna and Ruth provide good depth, and the true freshman are very promising.

4. QB- Park is going to have a breakout year. Zeb Noland and Kyle Kempt can both play if needed, and then you always have Lanning available too.

5. Safety- Cotton-Moya is one of the Big 12's best. Wilkerson coming in from playing at Georgia. Quality back ups in Edwards and White too.

6. TE?- Chase Allen will be the playmaker (WR basically playing TE). Soehner is huge and will be the road grater run blocker. Harms can do it all.

7. DL- young and inexperienced, but talented.

8. LB- pretty small and unproven.

9. OL- always my biggest concern.

Hard to beat. They really bring the wood. Impressive growth from last season. Strength and conditioning are much improved; you see this in endurance and willingness to pound the opposition.

You've been misled by the staff. More likely we experience disfunction on defense and performance anxiety with inability to execute on offense. We're lacking a stiff D and our O line is soft.
