Next Season

[ColoradoHusk]

I know there is a number of people that have the opinion that next year's team will have the "talent" to win the conference next season. I could be totally wrong, but I could see NU struggle a lot next year.

Offense -- the team is losing it's two best players in Ameer and Bell. We saw the offense struggle mightily when those two were injured at times this season. Armstrong is a huge question mark at QB, and behind him are a bunch of unproven players. The RB situation doesn't excite me at all, unless Adam Taylor comes out of nowhere and is a STUD.

Defense -- I feel better about the defense than the offense. But, the LB play will need to improve a lot, and we will lose Gregory.

Intangibles -- when a new coach comes in, the team can go in two directions. They can buy in and play hard for the new coach, or they can check out, and the new coach has to wait until "his players" get into the system. Who knows what will happen with this.

Power running with Imani and change up back of Newby and Stanton under center could be intriguing on offense.

Defensively, I think we will be good. DL will be awesome.

ST should be good, and the right guy will energize the players.

This.

I agree that Stanton is the wild-card for the offense. He has to be THRILLED that a new regime will be coming in. He will get a fair shot to beat out TA next spring, which probably wasn't going to happen under Bo and Beck.

We have good talent down there to compete well into next season. The schedule will be a little harder than this past season with a couple non-cons on the road, but I think we will be better prepared with new regime.
