Defense loses 3 DBs who played a lot (but were injured at times), Spruill & Bromley.  That seems like a lot to lose, but it is probably less than most of the teams we will play.

We have a lot of returning experience up front (6 of 8 in the 2013 rotation), and 2 returning vets at LB.   We don't have a world-beater at DE, but we have 4 DEs with above-average size -- a rare luxury for an SU team.

At DB, we have 3 returning CBs who started and/or played a lot, Eskridge who was our best DB at one S spot, and Kelly & Desir who will be at least a match for Wilkes at the other S spot.  Scissum (RF) apparently did well for the scout team, and provides depth as the 4th safety.

That is a heck of a start.  Add a big DT (Williams) to the rotation; a rush DE (Simmons?); and maybe one true frosh for depth at CB (Dowels?).   Then, the biggest question for the Spring -- MLB.

Fewer questions than in most years.  If any frosh provide any competition for any spots in the 2 deep, all the better.  Aside from a back up DB spot, it does not seem likely.
