secondary
Several mock NFL drafts have Griffin and Ross going in the first round. See, for example, http://www.footballsfuture.com/2007/nflmockdraft.html
Accordingly, two questions:
- given the level of talent, why was our secondary level so poor last season?
- given the level of talent we are losing, is there any legitimate hope that next season will be any better with regard to the secondary?

Reasons
Thats what our secondary because i guess our run "D" was bad but we only maybe played two to three teams that can really run the ball. tOSU, OU, and A&M so i don't see why in the other games.
If you guys didn't notice almost all the big plays came of either playaction or trick plays. Against K-State every TD was pretty much playaction over the top even though they can't run the ball to save their lives against "my man" Shawn Bell we gave up a playaction and qb throwback TD's. We were just to overaggressive with our safties thats really what was the problem.
Remember against Ohio St. how with like a minute left the buckeyes had the ball on our twenty and we put nine guys in the box and leave Teddy Ginn one on one? Why would you do that Gene Chizik? They weren't able to run the ball against us the whole game and then espically in an obvious passing sitiuation. My favorite was against A&M where he didn't bring the safities down. The only that we played that couldn't throw the ball we didn't "commit" ridiculous.
I think they might be better because frankly it can't get worse "statistically speaking". They just need to tackle which was a problem that we had sometimes last year poor tackling remember Nebraska? So i think we will be better but the Alamo Bowl didn't ease me certainly. Lets hope "Duff" Man can bail us out.
It was also poor coaching. We didn't have that last year because Michael Huff was so damn good.

Secondary was doing two jobs:

fresh start
Well, we all know it wasn't what we expected.
After losing most of the secondary, as well as Chizik, I'm just looking forward. And I hope Mac Duff and our young secondary prospects do the same. We are very young, but very talented.
