Your last point is the ultimate. I don't recall who that group had on the front line (a young Tank?) but the NG in this D has to be a 300+ plug in the middle, right?
THIS!
To speak of the QB being the difference between W's and L's misses the point of what is really needed here. Bubba said as much in the Herald article.
Are Beach and Orlando answers at DL?
LB's with size and speed along with better on ball defenders at safety are required.
Will the O line adequately replace the seniors starters? Those are the issues for next fall.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every game this year.
I recall how loud the Alerus was during the playoff games years ago, and was impressed how loud the much smaller crowd was the last couple of games.
it’s been a different season with a better atmosphere.
