That does not look like a bowl team roster to me
DL departures create serious size/talent/depth issues. Here's a quick list of 2021 players. All three starting linemen are gone, with an additional 3 reserves graduating or transferring. Incoming players (so far) listed at the bottom - one an edge guy the other an interior guy. We could really use a run stopper/NG type 300+ and any quality depth we can acquire from the portal, (edit) JUCO or HS.They need 3 DL, 2 LB, 1 or 2 OL, another RB, another punter and another WR who has got skills.
That's 10 more guys, give or take. Then we'll see what we've got.
But right now, yeah, lots to be worried about.

They need st least 2 WR who can come in and play now. We don,'t have a number 1 or 2 at the present time.They need a 4th QB long before they need a 3rd or 4th punter.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie….. Oy, Oy, Oy!I thought they had 2 punters, and 1 was a walk-on.
Our punting was awful this year. Worst I can remember.
I see more length and athelticism within the DL unit. They need to add more functional weight. The issue is lack of experience. We definitely need to add a couple of experienced transfers.DL departures create serious size/talent/depth issues. Here's a quick list of 2021 players.

Teams are going to run the ball on us unless we add some beef. We are simply too light. I dont care what the scheme is we will get crushed without some help.I see more length and athelticism within the DL unit. They need to add more functional weight. The issue is lack of experience.

Yes. I agree. The staff have to find big experienced guys that can loop, stunt and re direct. You need big and explosive guys no matter what scheme it is. They are hard to find. Maybe the staff can find some via portal. If Achuff becomes the DL coach I will feel confident that he can coach the unit up. We were 21st in total defense. The DL did what they needed to do. We got gashed at times but that happens in any defense. We did have a 5'11 270 pound FCS player become 1st team Acc.Teams are going to run the ball on us unless we add some beef.

DL is our weakness.
