It's tricky to calculate ND's number of likely returning starters, because they had so many injuries that as many as 30 guys might be considered 2015-16 starters. But whatever the number, it's big;Â
That's three starting linemen, two of them projected to go in the top 30.
All three starting WRs, including top 50 pick Wlll Fuller.
They lose Prosise but apparently will get back Folston, but he isn't nearly as explosive or versatile as Prosise.
Two guys off the DL, including nine-year starter, it seems, Sheldon Day.,
Two of their three LBs, including first round lock Jaylon Smith.
And who knows how to calculate their lost starters in the defensive backfield, but Kevaire Russell is one and the number one and two strong safeties, as I read it, are gone, as well as heavily-used Mathias Farley.
So their number of returning starters appears to be as few as 8 and not more than 10, an absurdly low number.Â
Interesting too, perhaps, three of their near-certain OL starters are players we offered: Alex Bars, Quenton Nelson, and Sam Mustipher.
Our chances against them look good.
