That level of success will be difficult to duplicate in '08. Only 5 starters return (no one on D), including QB Desi Rodriguez and RB Ryan Zirbel (both players rushed for over 1000 yards, 2000 for Zirbel). Replacing an entire defensive starting unit seems entirely too much to overcome, but the coaching staff remains very excited about the prospects of a successful season in '08.
