Under- like 5-7 under.
Think about it- (read this on Bucknuts): they're losing Minor and Brown, their 2 best RB's, along with Greg Mathews, their #1 (or #2) receiver. But it's not on offense where they'll struggle.
From an already bad defense, they're losing B. Graham (best overall defender), Stevie Brown (leading tackler), and Donovan Warren (early to the NFL). Their secondary was already shaky, and they're losing their 2 best DB's. Add to that, they're losing one of the nation's best punters in Zoltan Mesko.
Unless they score 35+ a game, they will struggle.
They also have alot of young unproven talent that will be upgrades imo. With the exception of Grahm and Mesko none of those guys will be missed to much.
Minor-always hurt
Carlos Brown- always hurt wasn't that great to begin with
Stevie Brown- Couldn't cover to save his life
Donavon Warren- Was good at the start of the year but later on was getting toasted (will be missed at times but is easily replaced)
BG-do i need to say anything?
Mathews-Seriously? I think UM will be fine having Roundtree, Stonum, Odums, and Hemingway(when healthy)
7 wins is all RR needs to stay another year and I think he gets it. Following year 9 or 10 win season.
