Yea, their defense is going to be in trouble. LBs still are weak and they have no pass rush. Relying on Kaindoh big time and he hasn't been healthy or consistent.The offense will be the strength of their team, I think this year we'll finally see Akers and Laborn emerge and start to live up to their high rankings. OL is still a disaster there, it will hinder them to the point that Briles is always going to have to be calling gimmicky shifts, motions, screens and quick RPO stuff. And their team is infamously dumb, so I'm interested in seeing how they learn the playbook-less Kendal Briles offense.
But their defense is where they are a below-average team. Besides Marvin Wilson, their DL is weak and they have no pass rush whatsoever. They hired a Big 10 Defensive Co-ordinator who is trying to do a D'nofrioesque square peg in a round hole 3-4 defense. If Boise St's QB is competent, I think they'll beat down on the semenholes
Their offense should take major steps forward. Just going to be quick passes and getting their guys the ball in space.
