It all starts with Hart, a Heisman contender who rushed for a career-high 1,562 yards during a banner junior season. After minor offseason surgery on his left shoulder, Hart is healthy, and his competitiveness is contagious. Expect sophomore Brandon Minor to step up to the No. 2 spot with Kevin Grady possibly out for the season following major knee surgery in April. Minor made major strides in the offseason, especially in pass protection. Initially, there was a concern about depth at fullback, but that was erased with the emergence of true freshman Vince Helmuth, walk-on Mark Moundros and Quintin Patilla, who moved over from linebacker. Offensive coordinator Mike DeBord was pleased with the play of this group in the spring.

Are you guys going to have any weaknesses on offense this year? Perhaps a shaky O-Line or an unproven tight end?
You lost a lot of defense, right?
Not looking forward to the match up in the Big House on Sept. 15th....especially after you've warmed up against App. State.
