1.Will the LBing corps be able to contain our quality opponents up-the-middle running game?
2. Will our vaunted OLine finally produce a dominant running game (to go along with their excellent pass blocking?) IOW: can we be better on the ground without SB? (admittedly a huge loss.)
3. Can the D produce pressure/TFLs/sacks in sufficient numbers to beat most of our major opponents? (woes of last years OSU game collapse.)
4. Does our KO team keep the other guys on their heels, or give them good starting field position?
5. Can we win one (or two) big game(s) with our new FG kicker ( whoever he may be?)
Note: Put me in the camp of folks who believe in the incoming group of DBs. ie By the end of the season they should be recognized as being at least as good as last years fine departees.
