NU I agree that we don't have more "ready to play" depth on D-line and I think you are dead on our potentially biggest weakness. However, We have a history of ending up solid at the NG. Eboh, Moorehead, & Curvey are a solid mid tier or better 3/4's of a d line so we won't be weak up front, but we must have a solid reliable NG to take heat of LB's.
While teams may want to grind it out, our inexperienced secondary may also tempt O-coordinators. I think we will be solid in the secondary and likely quite good as the season goes on, but we only have one guy with much experience. Our LB's are currently a little light for their height, but if they have a good offseason I am not worried.
I don't think there is an oline in the North that we can't match up against physically (yes including little red) OU, UT may be a different story, but I think we will hold our own if we stay away from injuries
