I'm sure I didn't name off everyone on the depth chart. I know I didn't name every freshman. But it looks like a loaded secondary if everything turns out the way we hope. Part of the key to this team it seems like is the defensive line and secondary both playing excellent complementary football. Not so bold prediction. I think they not only do better in that regard this upcoming season, but maybe better. Linebackers look to be in really excellent shape. Very few question marks anywhere other than maybe some developmental depth here and there. Wouldn't kill us to hit the portal, or at least give it a sniff. This is the makings of the best defense in the Big 10. As you know, it wins championships. Go blue!
