Interesting point on who they lost, not just numbers. Some losses are bigger than others, especially 300+lb DTs that go to the Steelers. Here's Iowa's returning starters. Numbers alone, they look to be better off than most teams in terms of returning talent. I don't know enough about every team to give the granularity of which returners and which losses are going to help/hurt the most.PSU rushed for 297 yards on the ducks last year when Oregon had the Steelers #1 pick DE on their DL. And their 6th year QB. And their record setting WR. They lost a great deal from their lineup and not even Mega-$$ can make replacing that production seamless.
Meanwhile the PSU running game is back in tact. I like our chances .....
Iowa lost a 300 lb+ DT to the Steelers in the draft as well. PSU will likely try and run over them as well.
