Who steps up in replacing the departing Senior starters? QB is the most obvious priority, but we're still a ways from figuring that out and should know more in the next few weeks.
  • Assuming Case Cook probably takes Pendleton's place at one G spot. Will be curious on the Paul Adams replacement, be it Larry Borom who's been the backup there all year, or Hyrin White sliding over from LT until Durant exhausts his eligibility.
  • Hall is a big loss at WR. Hopefully the sum of the group improves enough over the off season to fill the void he's leaving much better than we saw while he was out with injury this year. Do we see any of the incoming FR playing a role next year (Massey,Boone?) or are we finally getting the depth up to the point we can start redshirting some of these guys?
  • Lose TBJ and Palmore off the DL. Elliot's performance today has to make you feel better here (assuming he sticks around) but who starts beside him? Whiteside, Antar?
  • Outside of Lock and E. Hall, Terez Hall is the next biggest loss among the departing Seniors IMO. Who steps in there? Bolton, Brooks? After the spring game I was sure Aubrey Miller was the heir apparent there.........guy must really be in the doghouse with the staff or practice poorly in a epic way.
  • In the Secondary we lose Hilton. In my mind he'd almost been replaced with the emergence of Gillespe and Bledsoe this year. Will be curious to see if any of this years FR DB class makes a run at serious playing time next year (Ware, Collins)?
All in all there's plenty to like about what we return next year. Get the QB spot figured out and you've gotta like the seemingly upward trajectory of this roster going into next season and beyond.
