Do as many or as few as you want. I can understand why not everyone will pick all the offensive line spots, but it's up to you...

QB- Spencer Landis
RB- Danny Broggin/Terry Williams/SirChauncey Holloway
AB- BJ Hayes
WR- Mike Brown/Chris Summers/Jimmy Eden
TE- Tommy Shaver
OL- Stadler is the only one I care to predict. O-Line isn't my area of expertise so I will avoid it here...

DL- Trey Jacobs/Asa Chapman/Daryl Robertson
LB- Wes Cheek/Chad Brown/Doncel Bolt/Pat Bannon
DB- Donnie Manns/Brandon Robinson/Chris Rocco/Larry Claiborne

KR- Jimmy Eden/Mike Brown
PR- Jimmy Eden/Mike Brown

K- Matt Bevins (Long FG's and Kickoffs)/Paul Young (Short FG's)
P- Matt Bevins

QB- Mike Brown and Spencer Landis (I think we might use a 2 QB system)
RB- SirChauncey Holloway/Danny Broggin
AB- BJ Hayes
WR- Mike Brown/Chris Summers/Jimmy Eden/Pat Kelly
TE- Tommy Shaver/Will Quarles
OL- Alex Stadler/Antonio Tassarra/Spencer Hodges/Justin Vargas/And one other guy who isn't on the roster yet that is really good!

DL- Trey Jacobs/Asa Chapman/Daryl Robertson/Soren Wendland
LB- Wes Cheek/Chad Brown/Doncel Bolt/Pat Bannon
DB- Donnie Manns/Brandon Robinson/Chris Rocco/Larry Claiborne/Brandon Sauders

KR- A freshman (Aldreakis Allen maybe)
PR- Jimmy Eden/Mike Brown

I think there might be a few freshmen that will contend for starting jobs.

K- Matt Bevins (Long FG's and Kickoffs)/Paul Young (Short FG's)
P- Matt Bevins

I will say one thing that is missing here

OL- Bryan Mosier and Josh Weaver will be all Conference leaders on this O Line and nobody has even mentioned them. They started this whole year and Weaver was slated to start 2 years ago before Pinigis transferred in.

There are a few guys that were banged up throughout the year that wil start or will have a huge impact next year:
LB- Kyle O'Donnell
DB- Chuck Duffy (Could play Safety or Corner)
DB- Donald Manns
RB- Terry Williams (He is a fighter and I think will make a full recovery, he probably wont be able to shoulder the load like # 3 but no one will and we will likely rotate about 3 RB's)
K- Paul Young (Will contribute but how can you put him in over Matt or Ben)
P- Larsons (started great but got hurt, but if Liberty's offensive continues like it has the last 3 years probably wont get much work)

A couple of true freshmen that will do the same either start or have a big impact
LB- Jamal Giddens (This guy is a freak and just set the Verticle and Long jump all-time record today during testing)
WR- Jimmy Eden (He has tons of potential and good hands think of young Wes Welker type WR)
DB- Brandon Robinson (Another freak athelete that is starting to figure it out and will be great and also good genes dad played in the pros)
OL- Aaron Lundy (Really strong and gets better everyday, big time competitor)
DL- Greg Shuster(sp) (Again strong and has a motor that is always on)

QB - Landis
RB - I hate to put it on a freshman but I just see Holloway getting it. Terry will fight for it hard if he can recover like I think he can.
WR - Brown, Summers, Eden
TE - Will and Shaver will both get a lot of time. I think Tommy will start though.
OL - Vargas, Stadler, _____, Mosier, Weaver

DL - Jacobs, Asa, Daryl
LB - Cheek, Brown, O'Donnell, Bannon
DB - Manns, Rocco, Claiborne, Saunders

KR - Eden/Brown
PR - Eden

K - Bevins (Young on short field goals and XPs)
P - Larsson

With that being said, here are the guys I expect to see a lot of time but not start:

BJ Hayes
Patrick Kelly
Terry Adams
Tim Smith
Jamal Giddens
Doncel Bolt
Brandon Robinson

I haven't seen Lundy or Schuster but I've heard they really came along this year. I wouldn't be surprised to see them in there a lot as well.

I'm sure I've left a couple guys out.

______ - Obviously refers to transfer Center that we dont know about that has been Slyfoxed around for quite a while

No. It means I don't know who will start at that position. There hasn't been anyone that has committed to us the play there. I simply don't know who it's going to be. Hodges has been playing there this year. I know Mosier has played there before. Could he be moved to center and someone else play guard? I honestly don't know who's going to play there. It's my only question mark for next year.

Actually referring to this

There was an obvious transfer here a couple weeks ago on a visit but he hasn't committed in any way to us.

But hes getting the Sly Fox treatment. My bad for assuming just yet

I'm not allowed to post his name. The other people who know about it are allowed to, and encouraged. I've told them that.

I'm not going to do a starting lineup, but one player who noone has mentioned is Tim Torrence, and while he may not start, he is absolutely crucial to our "penny package", which enabled us to contain the short passing game against G-W and Elon after being decimated by it earlier in the year. You can bet we will use it a lot next year.

He is coming off a bad injury, but I also have heard so many good things about Ryan Jackson, I have to believe he will contribute on the DL.

You don't normally like to project an incoming Freshman as a starter, but watching those clips of Holloway reminded me of my high school days in Pittsburgh when the 11:00 news on Fridays always included highlights from the Alliquippa HS football team. They had a pretty good RB named Tony.......................... Dorsett.

I knew I was forgetting someone but couldn't remember who. TT is who I was forgetting.

If you have no official connection to the athletic program, you can. If you heard it from someone who does, just keep that quiet.

I heard that Texas kid who got kicked off the team this year (and ironically enough was their center...) was around for a visit a few weeks ago...is this what everyone is referring to?

And if you saw a kid walking around a game with a name tag on you can say it as well. I know people saw him cause they've asked me.
