That's the thing about college football... It isn't like any team is trying to replace Tom Brady after 20 years of being the best QB in the game.

Every single year, players get chances they hadn't had before, or players get way better as something in their game clicks, or sometimes guys just get that critical mass in the strength and conditioning program where they can suddenly do what is being asked of them.

I used the example of Diamond Ferri recently... As a highly recruited running back recruit, he was stuck on the bench two years, but nobody would have been shocked if he became a good running back as a junior... Instead he switched positions as a junior and made all league as a safety. He even got snaps in the NFL.

Nobody knows who's going to miraculously get better and fill critical roles for us.  Fran Brown and his staff know better than us, but even they might be surprised.

One major clue is how[B][I] not[/I][/B] desperately they are pounding the portal right now.  Not a whole lot of visits or offers to transfers right now... Whereas last season we got commitments almost every single day for a long time after the coaching staff arrived.
