Are you kidding me? Losing VY is a huge loss, but he was one of many talented players on last year's team, most of whom are back this year. The running backs and receivers will pick up the slack created by the VY void. Our O-Line will be the best in the country and that will take the pressure off of both Colt and Jevan. One of the single biggest components for Freshman errors is no time to make good decisions. These guys will have all the time they need when they drop back to pass. Don't worry, there will still be time to make a BCS bowl, with the early loss, just like last year. Hook'em. Overrated?? Are you kidding me?
