The good news is that while the schedule gets a bit tougher (dOSU and UW come back on the B1G rotation), the 'Cats are returning a majority of their starters, esp. in the skill positions.

The biggest loss will be on the O-line w/ 3 starters graduating, but there are plenty of highly touted underclassmen recruits to fill their slots.

The D-line/pass rush and secondary, long a trouble spot for the defense may actually be a strength for the team in 2013 (as well as 2014).

In addition, the 'Cats have one of their highest rated recruiting classes coming in, but since there is now good depth on the team, most will likely red shirt.

The 'Cats were basically 2 plays from going 11-1 in the regular season (if CB Van Hoose hadn’t been injured, they would have won those games) and the PSU loss could have been a win if Mark had been in at RB during the 4th Q.
