Hopefully Minter can teach the defensive players how to tackle during the off-season. If we can improve on that we may stop some teams on 3rd down. I also hope Joker & Sanders take off their skirts and get more aggressive with the play calling and stop with all of these 3 yard drag routes and screens.

Next year is a time for a player to emerge as the new leader. We've lost Hartline, Cobb, and Locke. So I expect players like Newton or Mossakowski, LaRod King, Raymond Sanders, or a Gene McCaskill to really step up and be the play maker. On defense if we can keep Trevathan from entering the draft, then he'll return as the leader. If he doesn't return we can look at Winston Guy or Ronnie Sneed to become the leaders.

As of right now our schedule next season looks like this:

WKU
Central Michigan
Louisville
Florida
@ LSU
@ South Carolina
Open
Jacksonville State
Miss. State
Ole Miss
@ Vanderbilt
@ Georgia
Tennessee

I see 3 for sure wins over WKU, CMU, Jacksonville St. Possible wins over Louisville, South Carolina, Miss. St, Ole Miss, and Vanderbilt.

Could be a long season for the Cats.
