special teams, tackling and inside running. outside of that UM's back.

Bolden and Morgan are gone after this season, they are too slow at LB
Need good QB, RB(K Walker) Speedy LB's OL that can block for the run, DT's
Remember That Fred (Hoke) Flintstone didn' recruit speed.
Set at TE and WR
With Mone back,that will help alot.

I really thought the O line would be noticeably better this year with an actual coach replacing Funk. It wasn't.
Watching Oklahoma-Okie St and wondering what it's like to have a running game. Must be nice.

This defensive line should be awesome next year. I'm guessing we're going to have more athletic, but less experienced LBs.

I'm most concerned with toughness on the OL, that had better come with all those damn seniors next year. Depth is arriving in a wave of OL in the class, so we'll be in great shape for the years to come. We just need lots more depth and one or two more game breakers like Peppers per class.

Who will our LBs be??? If they were any good they would have played this year. Ross is the only back I think right?

Ross is gone.

I am worried about lb'ers too. It would have to be the new guys recruited? UM is still a year away.

For next year...here are the keys.

1. Find a qb. Rudock did an admirable job. MVP of the team. Maybe even more so than Butt or Chesson.
2. Find a playmaking rb.
3. Linebackers (everywhere) This is biggest hole on the team. Even more than the rb and that is saying something.
4. Rush DE
5. A Center

More players at safety, etc...but suffice it to say UM is not ready for prime time.

1. I'm confident in Harbaugh's ability to do this.
2. Walker would be a great fit for this role, so help may well be coming
3. I have no idea how we are going to fill this huge hole
4. Come on down Mr. Gary
5. Mason Cole, that way he doesn't get his QB killed on blindsides next year
