Oh they hurt….
Seriously. I think Arden led the group with 2.5 sacks last year. Major area for team improvement.
Add Brady Kopetz to the scholarship roster at TE.
5th year senior who is a significant contributor on special teams and earned a "Leader" designation last season. Played in every game. I don't know that he'll do much on offense, but he'll play on most of our special teams.

Enjoy this gem, Colorado State was feeling themselves and Lubick actually said that the pressure was on them to win because they had won 2 in a row. Then we ran over them.
During the broadcast, they said that 99.3% of the offensive production in 2000 was back for the 2001 season. We returned 5% of the total players this year.

This makes me sad.
I was a freshman in high school.
College Football was still pure.
Ed McCaffrey would break his leg in a week.
Our JV football team would lose 61-13 that same night.
9/11 was the next morning
Don’t let him anywhere near Von Miller.
Is this Cam’s son?

I think that was TD Derek McCoy b/c despite ltd # of receptions a bunch were for Tds. GB's offense did it with a FB, which was Drumm. Cortlen Johnson was the 3rd down RB glue, either picking up the block or catching something and turning it up.
I just rewatched that CSU game. Thanks for the link. A few things from that game in addition to the great offensive line:
1. Loved that three headed monster with Brown and Purify and fullback Brandon Drumm, the Alaskan Assassin.
2. DJ Busch for CSU threw not one, but two pick sixes and was replaced in the 2nd half by the hatable BVP
3. Near the end of the game, Jeremy Flores kicked a field goal and the commentators mentioned how he was out the prior week for the Fresno State game because an English professor took his/her sweet time grading a Shakespeare paper.

I'm skeptical of the real value of those degrees.
Otoh, I'm somewhat skeptical of the value of a lot of degrees from a lot of schools.
But, to compete the thought: part of what a degree earned shows is that a someone can stick with something, and put up with a lot of tedious crap for 4 or 5 years - not necessarily the content of the coursework.
Someone who has earned a degree while playing ball for 3-4 schools over 4-5 years also has shown some positive skills. Those skills are very different.
It depends on the role I'm hiring for I guess. Sometimes I need a 1-2 year mercenary to parachute in, other times I need a keep your head down and grind in one place for half a decade person.
You mean that seeing on an applicant's resume that he attended 4 colleges to get a BA might be a bit of a red flag for you? No way!
Maybe.
I might need someone that can work in different places, for different managers, and still get the job done.
You don't need a lot of people like that, but they have their niche.
If someone is able to get a degree while hopping from one place to another due to unrelated work changes with the major ongoing distraction and priority of being a professional athlete, that should indicate someone is capable of carrying through on a greater plan in the midst of daily chaos, academics notwithstanding.
It "could" indicate that, not "should". More likely, it means someone who was not academically inclined, doesn't persevere when faced with challenges, and will start shopping for a new job before they've completed orientation.
Here's the thing: that would be comically easy to suss out in an interview.
Often interviews don't do much to separate candidates.
In this case you might have to do a lot of interviews because, as you note, there'd be a huge number of **** no, but it'd be so absurdly obvious when you hit one of the ones that's a yes that there really wouldn't be a decision.
Most interviewers aren’t asking deep questions about the person’s life history. “Oh, you transferred from Dayton to Bowling Green and then got your degree from Colorado? That’s cool” is what a lot of millennial and younger recruiter/hiring managers would likely say…
Yeah, but you don't have to ask brilliant or hard questions to figure out if a guy did the minimum to get a degree and bounced to a bigger paycheck whenever it was offered vs one that maximized his opportunities at each stop while building a bank account balance that his family never dreamed of.
Not gonna be a lot of the second guy out there, but you're gonna see it in about two minutes regardless of your own interview skill.
I guess. I think values have shifted. No millennial or younger person I work with thinks that having a job for a long time is valuable. Moving for better is a signal that they are ambitious.
As always, yes but.
In many roles it takes 6-12 months before the new hire is a net plus vs a net negative due to learning / training costs. I ain't hiring anyone for any of those roles if they've never stayed anywhere, including a school, for longer than 9 months.
I'll take a 2-3 year early career stint (hell, in my line of work if you don't move after your first 2-3 years there's something wrong with you), but there are limited roles where a 6-12 month is acceptable.
You are Gen X.
I know this is a massive threadjack and happy if this gets carved off to someone else, but…
The lack of continuity at jobs has been terrible. Shoddy work, bad customer interface, slow response times. Maybe I’m different, but is there any organization that you deal with that is better today than it was 20 years ago? When I think across the board from banking to retail to trades to healthcare to government, everything is worse from a human relationship perspective*. And I’m not a Millennial hater and I get why people jump. I also realize that companies were the ones to break the covenant between labor and pensions. But that doesn’t change the fact that nearly everything is operating poorly now.
And to bring it back to football, once everyone jumps annually into the portal, college football will be worse.
*Technology and healthcare are better because of scientific advancements, but the “experience” is worse if that makes sense.

Honest question, do people actually put the schools they transferred from on a resume these days? If so, why? I would expect to see only the schools a person graduated from. I haven't given or seen a resume since the 90s so forgive my ignorance.
You don't actually know if someone bounced around in an interview. If TA or HR did a background check, it will verify the diploma and university, not the 5 schools the JAG attended. I was traveling around the world working in my early 20's, attending Florida State and Oklahoma branches, then converted those credits to CU when I went back to Colorado and finished my BSEE degree on campus. Then attended Maryland for my Masters when I lived in D.C. for three years. Nobody has ever asked me about FSU or Oklahoma, no interviewer even knows I attended those schools - they just see CU and Maryland degrees. Same goes for the 100+ employees I have hired over the past 25 years, I see the degree from the university they graduated from. If these players don't offer up the fact they attended 14 colleges in a money grab, the employer never knows.
Unless the employer, as part of their really in depth background check, plugs their name into a search database like, I dunno, Google.
But no one does that.
I've definitely never googled a job applicant.

That is a great point. The quality of CFB will probably drop. Practice does not emulate game-snaps. For many teams the 1st quarter of the season will become an exercise of the coache(s) finding out what they truly have on the roster, and then plugging in the right guys come game-time. At the same time, the team/units have to learn to playing together building cohesiveness.
Certain teams will just out pay for enough roster (aka what TTU did), they win on talent. I'll be curious to see: how the outside NIL clearinghouse regulation works and whether some teams just decide to cheat again. Teams cheat so they can overpay to keep certain players on the roster.
That said, Miami is playing for a natty with an all-portal defensive backfield.
