is having an OL who just straight-up fucking murders people on the regular. Rudolph has been building toward this for a couple of years now, with an inordinate number of serious injuries slowing the process. There is no slowing shit now, bc we have established a level of depth to overcome this.

The 1a fix is called Aneyas Williams + Kedren Young, plus a dash of Nolan James. I'm not concerned about short yardage.

Regarding #2, there's no freaking way that Faison will approach 1200 yards, but he'll likely be in the 800-900 range and super productive. I don't know why this wouldn't register in whatever you were looking at statistically, but the man converted an insane number of first downs on his catches in 2025, percentage-wise. His efficiency rate on conversions could not have been matched by too many other receivers nationally.

Regarding #3, Rodney Dunham is going to be a superstar sooner rather than later. Also, who on this schedule is even capable of exposing whatever weakness in depth one has to strain to see at DE? Our opponents up til the trip to Provo will be lucky to rush for 100 yards. They're all going to get fucking smushed. It would be more of a concern if we had last year's schedule, but this is clearly not that.
