[There goes the Major]

Stone at #1 at TE as a 247 pound RS Freshman. Nice job, Stone. Durante hasn't regained his starting position. Interesting. Talent at the WR position.

In order to keep guys fresh and given there are not as many returning starters, Gibson will probably use everybody on the 2-deep this year. Regarding the receivers, having Durante as in inside receiver opens an option to have a 4-wide WR set with Gibson, White, Shorts, and Durante - all of which have game experience. Load the box, we can spread you out. Spread out to cover our 4-wide set, and our experienced O-line will open holes for our stable of running backs.

Scary looking GP/GS stats.
