Im guessing everybody is ready for some football because I know I am! My predictions for the hogs this season are still not as hyped up as many of the other sites simply because of our mediocre defense! The hogs offense should be better than last years if the hogs find a #1 running back! The #1 candidate for that job in my eyes would either be Dennis Johnson or Ronnie Wingo but i would rather have Dennis Johnson start! He has proven he can show up in the big games! The offensive line also needs to step up big this year! Our third down efficency last year was poor because Mallett went for the long ball to much! Look and hope for that to change this year because countless times DJ Williams has been open and Mallett just over looks him.
On the defense i think the defensive line WILL step it up with Jake Bequette and Zach Stadther having expirience also adding a very talented recruit to the D-line Calvin Barnett! The linebacking core should be improved as well with Jerry Franklin leading the way and young star Jerico Nelson making big hits. My problem with the linbackers is they need to fly to the ball more. The part of the dfense that desperately needs inprovement is the defensive backs. Our safteys are awful i have to admit. There is some light at the conerback position with Ramon Broadway, Issac Madison back from injury and young highly recruited Darius Winston but losing Jerrell Norton and David Gordon hurt the Hogs Depth terribly! As of right now i am calling for an 8 win season possibly 9! I hope im wrong GO HOGS!!!
