I enjoyed your blog about the CU Spring game. We are already less than a month away from the North Dakota State @ CU opener, and while I agree with you that CU is going to create some matchup problems on the edge, that game is going to really test CU's offensive line.
NDSU, while not the dominant dynasty of the past, should have their best defense of the last 3 to 4 seasons. They return 9 starters, including 4 Preseason All-Americans.
Jordan Seaton is going to be matched up with 24 year-old Dylan Hendricks, a dude who had 7 sacks and 13 TFL for last season.
While NDSU is returning a good and experienced defense, their offense only has 3 returning starters, both tackles and Mason Miller, a very good QB.
That game is going to answer a couple of questions:
1. Can the CU offensive line protect against a good defensive front 7 that loves to generate pressure?
2. While CU's pass rush should be good, can they get effective pressure off the edge against two experienced and massive offensive tackles?
