Our biggest loss will be a WR, but hopefully Shropshire and the transfer from Memphis can fill in for Watkins & Mitchell. Spencer is a big loss, but I think McBride will be able to fill his shoes. Jermaine Brown and Stanley will continue to be good backup RBs.

On defense, Smith and Harris are big losses. But we gain Justin Thomas (DL transfer from LSU) and Troy Young (DB/S transfer from Arizona). Someone mentioned recently that Thomas is expected to play on the edge so maybe he can step in for Jordan Smith and Young can step in for Harris.

It would be awesome to host the conference championship in the first year of Protective Stadium.

That would be nice!! I’m just so concerned that covid will still be around and we won’t be able to fill protective stadium to full capacity .. that would be such a disappointment.
