I assume you mean "write". Offensively, last years team struggled because of poor OL play. Injuries prevented them from developing chemistry and a consistent rotation. This year, assuming health is not again an issue, we will have the most talented OL in Columbus in recent memory. OL recruiting struggled for the first few years of JT's tenure. The last two recruiting classes have been loaded with blue-chip OL prospects. That is an area that will likely be improved from last year. Add in a year experience from Pryor and that is reason to expect the offense will see considerable improvement from last season. Also, this years offense is being tailored around Pryor's abilities. Last year he was thrust into the starting position and operated under a simplified playbook to allow him to ease into the position. As for RB, yes we lose Beanie, but this offense will be built around TP, and Boom Herron did quite well subbing for Beanie while he was hurt.
Defensively, tOSU has always done well reloading. The DL may be the best since 2002 and there is a lot of talent at LB. Safeties will be strong, but the CB's may be an area for concern as youngsters settle in...but there is plenty of talent there as well.
The biggest difference here is coaching. JT buries Weis. Sorry, their track record proves it. In 2006, he replaced a large chunk of the defense and still was #1 all year before it finally caught up in the BCSCG. Few programs have recruited as well defensively as tOSU, so it's not unreaonble to expect another very strong defense again. Weis has done little with the talent he has recruited the past two years and a win over Hawaii does little to change my mind about him. I do expect an improved N_tre _ame this season, but until Weis proves he can beat a good team, I'll remain skeptical.
