[Future]

In looking back at some old posts on this site and other sites I think many fans and maybe coaches overlooked or underestimated how much Franklin-Simpson had either adjusted or improved in order to have a chance against JC in 2018. I read a post by a fan on here calling them the Kittens Lol. From what I read here is what they have returning. In 2018 Franklin-Simpson could be looking at another strong year and possibly return to the finals. They are returning 7 starters on offense with 4 of 5 offensive lineman and two 1,000 yard rushers. They return 6 starters on defense and from what some have posted on other sites if they are able to find a couple of linebackers they could be exceptional again next year. The game between JC and FS was one or maybe the only time I have seen Matney and company out smarted and out hit since his arrival at JC. That is not a knock on Matney or JC but just something I have not seen - the JC running game shut down like it was in the championship. Maybe others have but I have not. I was amazed at how their defensive line dominated the JC offensive line. The speed they had was and could be a real problem for JC if they meet again.
