Good first practice last night.  

The good:  This will be the fastest and most athletic team they've put on the field in quite a while.  Plenty of depth at the skill positions and healthy competition for reps there.  Some of the sophomores that saw significant action last year as freshmen look like varsity football players this year.  Some freshmen who are probably a year away but could see action in spots and provide some depth.

The not so good:  Numbers, especially up front.  I think the starters on both lines will be fine.  But we'll probably have more guys than we'd like playing significant minutes both ways, and there's not much quality depth.

The wait and see:  Leadership and experience.  The junior and senior classes are small, and only a handful of contributors will be upperclassmen.  There's not an alpha dog in the senior class who's going to set the tone and keep everybody in line.
