I sure hope so. Getting to the QB has not been our D's strongest aspect of the game lately.

One problem that Potts could run into early in the season is a lack of protection. The Red Raiders only return two starters to an offensive line that ranked 89th in the nation in sacks allowed. That could be problematic against an SMU front seven that is returning five starters from last season.

The only OL we will miss will be Brandon Carter. He more than held his own against Suh last year. OL will be a strength for us this year.
I will be very surprised if they aren't solid this year. Last years line was the worst Tech had in Leach's 10 yrs.

It will be interesting. The typical Leach OL seemed to be 330+. It seems that with Tuberville, the OL has been expected to "slim down" to around 300-315. Who knows what will happen. Personally, I think SMU might take Potts by surprise with a few early power rushes by Thompson and Hunt.

Will that be the case in game one?
