[Husker] Looking Ahead - Random Thoughts

[Aaron Wolfson]

Good points, Steve. As I've said previously, I think the dropoff on the
D-line will be smaller than we expect, due to the depth that has been built.
Just like this year, everyone who comes into the game on the line should
command attention, making it tough to double-team a guy like Crick. Then
when you factor in the returners in the secondary and the young LBs who
should improve in the offseason (and also add Martin to the rotation), I
think the Pelinis could turn out to be right.

Also, I am sure they are trying to motivate next year's guys by setting
their expectations high.
