he’s trimmed down significantly. Not sure if it will translate on the field but he has transformed his body for sure.

I really have no issues with our offensive skilled players. We don't have a Pitts or Toney type standout game planning nightmare, but we have enough skill from sideline to sideline that a competent OC and quality QB should be able to do some damage with. Its the OL that bothers me. I think we will look great against teams that have inferior DL and we will struggle against teams with skilled front 7.

So no real difference than the last decade.... talent is there at the skill positions, but can't sure up the lines...

There probably won’t be many Pitts’ ever again in college football. But I think we have skill players that are better than Toney. Several in fact. Hell, if he could ever stop dropping the ball, I think Copeland is a more complete version of Toney. It won’t look like last year, but we’ll have elite skill players again.
I know this is a bit cliché, but it’s extremely relevant to us… The success of this season will rely strictly on the performance of the offensive and defensive lines. Those were our biggest problem areas last year and I don’t see that changing this year.

I would say a big difference over the last decade. Our O was a dumpster fire before Mullen got here. I will give him credit for making it a well coached unit. But season result for the overall team, probably not that big of a difference...another 8-4 to 10-2 year coming up.

It’s pretty simple, and has been discussed before. Stricklin over played his hand and got cute, thinking that multiple big names would want to come to his program and play for him. When he was turned down in very public fashion by the top two, he lost any possibility of negotiating from a position of strength and panicked. Mullen and his agent wisely leveraged that and we thus overpaid. Coaches get extensions and raises all the time if they’re not a complete disaster. But when you start of with a basis that high, within a few years, it’s going to be even more out of whack. It’s not really on Mullen at all. He would’ve come her for far less if we’d been in position to offer and is doing what everyone would do. Can’t be mad at him. The whole numbers side is completely on Stricklin.

He was bigger even then (over 200, and probably around 210), but never should have been a 5 Star. Here's a highlight of the UA AAG and I doubt he shows up.

I'm glad to see they aren't pretending to throw a towel to a dog who is supposed to be running routes.

I get where you’re going with the question, but I’m disagreeing with that sentiment wholeheartedly. Cope has been playing behind some pretty good receivers since he’s been here. So his production hasn’t been that great, but he’s actually played well in his limited role. He often wins his matchups. He just didn’t have a lot of balls thrown his way. And he had the propensity to drop a few of those that did come his way. I know it’s not popular around these parts, but I think Copeland, Henderson and Shorter make a pretty good combination. Throw in guys like Whittemore, Fraziars and the TEs and you’re looking at a good group of pass catchers with the ability to become a great group.
edit: Copeland’s issues have been between the ears. I honestly didn’t think he’d still be here by now. I figured he would’ve gotten whiny and transferred or did something stupid and got kicked off. I always got the feeling that he would be a star if he can wait his turn. Lo and behold, it’s his turn.

If true, the shift would allow Braun out to RT and make a significant impact for the good
