Among other revelations, the author considers our linebacker unit as our best and superior even to our vaunted secondary. 

Again, for the umpteenth time, I say we match up really well against Under Stanford Control (again) and will defeat them, possibly easily and possibly to the surprise of college football cognoscenti everywhere;  I`m not overlooking Rice, however.

I'm not sure where he gets that from, but our LB core was relatively average last year. I'm expecting better from them this year with an increase in experience and talent in the mix, but to compare them to our secondary seems to be a big exaggeration. When healthy Meeks, Reid, and Holder all look like first team PAC 12 players and the depth behind them is excellent. No one on the LB core has shown that top end talent yet.
