beckner will provide a strong presence in the backfield behind pilkerton. he was the tailback for the freshman team three years ago and dominated against everyone. when mba runs it to the left this year it's going to go for big yardage every time. the defense should be really good again, especially the secondary and linebackers. mba has receivers who can block and catch the ball, they just can't get off the line like french, jacques, and pettus could. mba will be fine. it stinks burns can't get one more season because since 8th grade he has always been the hardest runner on the field.
