[QUOTE="Legal Jacket, post: 169983, member: 601"] Good finds. Definitely a bit surprising. That said Ohio State had four 4* RB backups to slot in to replace their RBs, one of whom was a senior. Ezekiel Elliot, for example, was a high four star out of high school who had 262 yards on 30 carries the year before - those are basically Snoddy numbers. And while they lost their lead WR, they returned a guy (Devin Smith) who had only 15 less targets and 100 fewer yards, in addition to a wealth of other talented guys. We don't return anyone with close to Smith's 2013 numbers (44 catches, 660 yards). For Clemson last year, their team strength was on defense - not offense. They returned their entire front 4 on defense from a unit that was really good to begin with. In terms of RBs, they weren't nearly as stocked as Ohio State. Can't say that I saw Gallman coming. WRs though, Mike Williams was a stud coming out of high school who had 20 catches and 300 yards as a freshman. Artavis Scott was a four star true freshman. If we had those kinds of players on our team we would be expecting big things from them. I think we are probably ranked about right too, though maybe I would put us closer to 20. The problem is with our schedule its much more likely we finish outside the top 20. [/QUOTE]
