I see a lot of the "Deacon malaise" out here...
The Deacs will be at least a .500 team this year and will make a serious run at the ACC Championship in 2012.
This season sees a total of 14 RS SR's playing significant minutes. About the same number of RS JR's will play significant roles as well.
4 RS SR's likely starting on D and 5 on offense bodes well.
Strong JR and SR class representation is what Grobe looks for and every one of these guys will contribute either on the two deep or on special teams (John Stamper as an example)
I look for the offense to be much improved with Tanner much more comfortable and a running back who can keep the pass rush honest.
--- This number of veterans is a good place to bring in your Soph and rs FR classes into the mix.
This is the season where the chart line begins to ascend again and look, if you want to fall over yourself about FSU and Notre Dame...go ahead --- in FSU's opener E.J. Manuel is going to get knocked out for the season and Brian Kelly ain't hitting on Shit. Those two teams are the most overhyped this season and will be 2 of the bigger disappointments. Clemson has no qb --spare me Tahj Boyd...that kid is no Tyrod Taylor. His accuracy sucks.
