  I'm less certain of the OL, as is Patrick, and the RB's seem
good but not great.  QB seems to be fine to me.

Despite losing only one OL this year, next year's OL could look drasitically different -- or not. Marcel Jones was replaced by DJ Jones at RT due to injuries in the bowl game and that competition will continue.  I hear renewed rumors that Baker Steinkuhler could move back to the OL (not sure where that leaves the DL but that is another story in itself). Stein won't move to O just to play a backup role so he could knock Smith or the Jones duo from one OT spot.   Add Hardrick, the JUCO OT that was one of the highest rated JUCO's in the nation (any position).  He hits the campus in just a few days and will get to make a case for PT or even a starting position.  Then there are Qvale, Sirles, Coffey and Ash as rFr.  Barney gave close consideration to burning Qvale's, then Sirles' redshirts as injuries affected the play of the OL.  And then don't overlook walkons Thorson and Thompson . . . . I don't know how many of these six newcomer's will start
 or even see meaningful minutes next year but be certain that the competition will be fierce.

I think you can rest assured that the offensive line will be much better and much deeper than it was this year.
