We will have it in Burnt Ends tonight, but we expect all three guys to be ready to go.

The biggest surprises could be at nickel (Antwuan Davis over PJ Locke) and WR (Jake Oliver and Petey Warrick over Duvernay)

Total guess, but I'll say Foreman

As for the freshmen, obviously on the defensive line look for Jordan Elliott, D'andre Christmas, Malcolm Roach, and Brandon Jones

Will Porter have an impact against ND?  

 

[Mike Roach]

Will Porter have an impact against ND?

I would think he will get carries, but he will have to settle for the scraps left over from the starters.

I haven't heard much on JP, but Hudson has his ups and downs. He started strong, but he's had some struggles.

 

[Mike Roach]

Does T Graham pull the trigger this week?

I keep hearing he wants to, but we've been there before

 

[Brandon17]

Any chance the Swoopes starting rumors are just a smoke screen?

Any chance the Swoopes starting rumors are just a smoke screen?

Not from what we understand

Do you think our defense will be significantly improved from last year?

Do you think our defense will be significantly improved from last year?

Only way to go is up right? I think they will be better. There are still some questions that stop me from calling it significant.
