We surprisingly have a good defensive line and a great interior. That’s it though, the rest of our team is MAC level outside of special teams.

Yeah I can complain about a lot of things on this team but the D Line is not one of them. It's legitimately decent

It gives me hope that the staff actually has decent talent evaluation. Coenen has been awesome, with more money next season we could actually put together a squad.

Next year is playoff or bust, especially with it moving to 24 teams. I think we can do it, we need better QB play though.
