owlcat I think you will be suprised. Boyle was far more than the MacShara team. While he was very talented. I look for Boyle to have a little different look in 2010. The talent level at Boyle is huge. Most if not all of Boyle's second team could and would start on many other teams. After a long winter in the weight room with Hester they will be bigger stronger and faster(after all speed kills as we all know). Look for Boyle to reload and be better than ever.

I hope i am surprised. I am a huge supporter of Boyle and know how good their staff is. Boyle has talent, and has always had talent, including the few blips of the Pardue (who was a great coach) era.

I know other kids will step up and play well, and if MacShara had gotten injured they still would have won alot of games. But, the kid ran for over 3000 yards, he was the offense. Period. They didnt have to do anything else. I know kids played well in mop-up time, but 16 year-old sometimes react differently to being "in the spotlight".

I always cite to the 02 team with Tamme, Overstreet, Brummett, Webb, etc. They were talent-wise the best or one of the best teams to ever grace Rebel Stadium, yet they lost two games. It was because the seniors before them, Duggins and McCoy were the offense.

The staff will have them ready for next year, but you cannot loose 90% of your offense and assume they will be just as good or better than ever.
