I think the offense will be way better than last season. The defense will definitley take a step back. There's no way that you lose two D-I players and replace them with someone as good. However, I think the offensive improvement will more than offset the losses on defense. I'm not seeing the offensive line being better this season. They have to replace 3 starters in the interior 5 plus Williams at tight end. That's 4 out of 6 positions that will have new starters. Skidmore and Perdue are two big pieces to return but I don't think you can expect to plug in 4 new starters and be improved--especially early in the season. The good thing is with the speed the Jumpers have they don't have to have a physically dominant line. Coach Perkins always does a great job and I'm sure he'll turn the line into an asset instead of a question mark. Who will be the 4 new starters?

Coach Doan's other son, at one of the guards I'm assuming. Coomer at the tight end who played a lot last year. Mcguffey at one of the other guards or tackle. And Hayden Fox in there somewhere.. They will be behind but by the end of the year it wont be much if not better. Skidmore will be the anchor with out a doubt. We've not had a body on the line like his since Billy Roberts who played a successful college career.
