Offensive
Line / Cornerback |
Whoever
lines up behind center
will have the luxury of
taking snaps behind an
extremely veteran star-studded
offensive line headed
by three All-Conference
honorees in the group.
With all of the offensive
talent in 2013, it was
the defense that carried
the load. The nation's
5th rated pass defense
has three rock solid cornerbacks
to work with again. Expect
some shifting in this
backfield to help fill
the voids at safety.

Quarterback
/ Coaching Staff / Defensive
Line |
Teddy Bridgewater
leaving early for the NFL
really put a damper on 2014
expectations. No matter
who steps in, things just
won't be the same. This
was the nation's No. 1 ranked
rushing defense. A big part
of that equation was a defensive
line that was hard to move.
Three full-time starters
are gone including American
Athletic Conference Player
of the Year defensive end
Marcus Smith. Also, Coach
Strong was a defensive guru.
Now that his services have
moved on to Texas it will
be up to offensive minded
Bobby Petrino to take over
and mold a similar defense
with far less experience. |
