If ever Rip needed a reason to snore. This information would certainly fit the bill.

How could OSU have QB? Fields not starting?

Well, TECHNICALLY he is a returning QB. Hey, they're from nebraska... cut 'em some slack lol.

Matos third best in B1G? Makes the whole article bullspit. Matos will be best in NCAA. We could have our best defense since Arrington and Brown days. Really glad to see pundits disrespect the Lions 2019 in so many articles. They are great motivators.

That is kind of funny. I'd like to know who are the three returning DEs better than Gross-Matos. They must be pretty amazing.

Epenesa and Young.... who I would guess would be the two they had ahead of Matos..... are both beastly.

Take the three of them, stick their names in a hat, pick any two, and you have two potential 1st Round Draft picks.
The difference from 1 to 3 (or 1a, to 1b, to 1c) is negligible.

One couldn't fault ANYONE for picking any of those three in any order.

Those are the big names preseason and I'm sure another 1 or 2 will step up just like YGM did last season.

Agree with you on Matos. Also, no Hamler?
