Another reason this D should be very good in '13. Hoke and Mattison can put a starting D on the field with only one underclassman. Damn you JRIII, why you have to be so good. We will also see some interesting run and pass D packages. and I will offer up my opinion of who might comprise these. I will make my selections without the use of any true freshman.
I know it is likely that Marvin Robinson doesn't start at safey, plus Clark and Beyer starting together doesn't seem to be in the cards, but the fact that these upperclassmen, third year into Mattison's defensive system, could all be on the field at the same time is kind of reassuring

I guess I will try a nickle package but I expect to get skewered for this.
