Several of the issues entering the season (LBs inexperienced and also undersized; can Bailey carry the load; being healthy; is one QB enough in a long season; developing enough depth to get by; replacing the DTs) have been answered in a positive way.   We could have predicted that Provo would have a big year, but the emergence of Dorian Graham has been one of the better surprises in a while.   With Chandler back, the whole DL looks like a strength.
A lot of things fell our way against West Virginia -- the kick run-back; wide open TEs making it look easy.   We aren't as all-powerful as that looked; West Virginia is certainly not as bad as they looked once things started going bad for them.
And still, we do have a great chance to win some rivalry games and make a statement.  This is a new era for SU football, why not?  We have veterans in key roles on the offense, and Graham gives the extra spark.  The defense needs to get some turnovers and pressures -- to me, that is the key.  Any offensive coordinator looking at the WVa film has to be worried about what Coach Shafer will come up with.
