Wow.  If he's immediately eligible...our LB corps will be absolutely stacked.

Only time I remember a defense that could pressure a QB (post-Desert Swarm) was the Reed/Elmore combo.  Perhaps we won't give opposing QB's all day in the pocket!

Yep and given are very thin secondary, not giving the QB time is over half the battle and should really help out Burns and Whitaker

Secondary should be fine! This should be the best D we have had in years.

If the NCAA clears him he will be a factor this year at some point. They should, but this is the failed NCAA we are talking about.
