There are three specific things I'm noting in talking to people who have seen Boise State's practices.
1. The defensive line, the best the school has ever seen last year, is better this year and has more depth. They heard the talk that they couldn't hold Nevada last year when it counted. They have taken that criticism to heart and are eager to prove that won't happen this year...in any game.
2. The receivers are fired up to prove there's not going to be a drop-off with the departure of Austin Pettis and Titus Young. The buzz is that Matt Miller has been outstanding. The freshman receiver could make an impact this year. Troy Ware, Aaron Burks and tight end Gabe Linehan have also been impressive.
3. Malcolm Johnson, back with the team, could also make an impact this season. If Johnson can get up to speed with the Broncos' complicated offense and with the college game in general, Boise State might be able to redshirt Ajayi. Of course we won't know much more about that until later in fall camp. The counterpoint to that is with a guy as talented as Ajayi, do you really want to redshirt him or would you rather have him contribute towards Boise State's national championship run?
