I agree.

Although I think Bourbon may be a little more vulnerable than year's past on both sides of the ball.

IF and that is a big "if" a team can find a way to throw the kitchen sink and shut down Holman or limit him to only a couple explosion plays, then I am not sure Bourbon has the playmakers at WR to make you pay. Bolin is a nice QB but he also doesn't seem to have the deep ball or intermediate accuracy Pope had.

I think it will be a major uphill climb... but if Russell, Garrard, or Mason can play a solid defensive game I at least see them having a puncher's chance this year. The past two years I don't think you could say that.

On the same token I could see Bourbon steamrolling everyone just as bad as before.

very good points. BC is not nearly as explosive at the WR position this year. ...and while their line play has improved on both sides of the ball.....against quality teams.....it appears to be a consistent weakness.

From what I've heard thru the grapevine....there have been tremors and shockwaves surrounding the program and Adena Springs. Someone in the know fill us in......

If what I'm hearing is true......that money train may have pulled out of the station.
