Most are saying and feeling that the talent has drop off and they may be without some of their best players. Three starters on the defensive line and more than likely their best player LB Smallwood. It would be hard to make a jump from the bottom of the league to the top without Smallwood. The fan base will need some pumping up for sure. The new coach will have his work cut out for him. I wish the new coach luck, because he's going to need it . GO HUSKIES!
