I think the offense will be way better than last season. The defense will definitley take a step back. There's no way that you lose two D-I players and replace them with someone as good. However, I think the offensive improvement will more than offset the losses on defense. I'm not seeing the offensive line being better this season. They have to replace 3 starters in the interior 5 plus Williams at tight end. That's 4 out of 6 positions that will have new starters. Skidmore and Perdue are two big pieces to return but I don't think you can expect to plug in 4 new starters and be improved--especially early in the season. The good thing is with the speed the Jumpers have they don't have to have a physically dominant line. Coach Perkins always does a great job and I'm sure he'll turn the line into an asset instead of a question mark. Who will be the 4 new starters?

I can assure you... The o-line is going to be very good Norm. If there is one person not to question about this issue it would be me
