I just hope Samford can live up to the hype. Without something devastating, like Hodges going down, I think our offense can. It is the defense that is in question. Last year we were the best in the SoCon against scoring, but gone are 6 starters. Those 6 include a beast of a LB and leading tackler, Shaheed Salmon, who is(at least for now) on the roster of the Tampa Bay Bucs. In the secondary, all conference DB Omari Williams is gone. I could list several others who were mainstays, but the point is we will have to have some new defensive players to step-up big time. We do have some good players returning(like All-American DL Ahmad Gooden), and I certainly don't mean we have to count on true Fr, but still there is some question there.
