CJ with more experience and possibly our best QB since Jimmy Clausen.... talent at RB (even without Price and Love), WR, TE and all starters on OL.
Defense will have the majority of the talent back with upgrades coming in the freshman class and transfer portal.
Depth that could handle injuries and the playoff run and coaching staff that have all been together long enough to turn the corner.
I have always felt this year was transition year with CJ and Ash getting acclimated and next year would be our best chance at a Naty. I think we will have several players stick around another year who feel the same way.
