...for "I can't wait until next year" talk? As a guy who is a "glass is half full" person, I have been trying to look for positives all season, and now it seems I have to resort to positives for next season. I came up with a list of 10 things I am looking forward to in '10:
1. There won’t be a QB controversy that concerns CH.
2. On offense we don’t graduate a single OL, RB, QB, or WR who contributes
3. We lose only 1 regular offensive starter (Geer) and 2 contributors (Devenny, Behrens), and I think Deehan should be prepared to go with Thornton backing him up
4. Our ’10 WR core will have 2 seniors (McNight, Simmons), 2 Juniors (Simas, Clemmons), 1 Sophomore (Jefferson), and 2 RS Freshmen (Darden, Ussery). The deepest core we have had in years
5. On the O-line we will have 13 scholarship linemen available to use. There is 1 Senior (Solder), 6 Juniors (Adkins, Bahr, Behrens, Daniels, Iltis, & Miller), 2 Sophomores (Dannewitz, Givens), and 4 RS Freshmen (Bakhtiari, Handler, Harris, & MTM). We will also have Stevens who is a non scholarship Senior with experience
6. We don’t graduate a single D-lineman in the 2 deep, and we get Kasa back
7. We graduate 3 LB’s (Burton, Smart, & Mohler). Major will replace Mohler/Smart and Sipili will replace Burton. Rippy has missed all Big 12 play (other than the first half against TX) and we will get him back.
8. Polk will take over for Burney at safety, and Perkins/Mahnke/Hicks will fill in the other spot
9. Jalil takes over for Cha’pelle, and Olatoye, Hicks, or Wright will take over as NB
10. Any true Freshman who makes the starting line-up would be due to their ability rather than a lack of players at the position
Now only 9 months to go until camp opens...
