I have some expectations, and some hopes for improvements next season:
EXPECTATIONS
1) Behren will be a SR and will improve again. He isn't perfect, but he is better.
2) OL- Combination of Cody promising to purchase a good OL and the youngsters taking a step or two forward this off-season.
3) WR - Douglas is a beast waiting to emerge. I think that a healthy Hudson starts to have an impact as well. Valsin and Eakin, among others will make this an experienced and talented unit.
4) LB room will still mostly be intact. This could be the best part of our team.
5) JM will grow more this off-season. He is absolutely on a learning curve. Gundy had his, and OSU has been pretty fortunate to have him.
HOPES
1) Better health. Surely we have had the worst of it, right?
2) There is a TON of young players get a year older on D. We need them to take a step forward and improve. It is reasonable to hope for that, I think.
3) The portal brings us more age and talent at needed spots.
4) This is more of a wish (throws quarter into fountain) - This year's class is massively under-rated. While that won't make any impact next year, I'm throwing it in as a bonus for your edification.
