While likely not the push-overs Da U and USF appear to be, does this group honestly scare anyone?
On offense the O-line should be decent, provided Patchan and Wilson manage to stay healthy. But it looks like a total mess at all the skill positions, I doubt many of them would show up on our 2 deep. The D-line should be able to generate a pass rush but the depth is scary and not the same type of "scary" depth we have on the D-line. So-so at LB with little depth and at DB outside of Elam, again a lot of guys who wouldn't crack our 2 deep. And it will be interesting to see what that line up looks like by late November, when we face them.
