While we might have thought that after McCaffrey, look at where we are with Love.

No doubt one of the beauties of college football is that young players make dramatic improvements year to year, or major increases in contribution when given opportunity. However, I think most people on the board were reasonably optimistic about Love replacing McCaffrey, except for questions about how he would hold up physically with increased workload. There were more concerns on the board about replacing Soloman Thomas, due to the expected drop-off to his replacements. Love has certainly exceeded expectations, but over his first two years he clearly demonstrated explosiveness and big play ability, and he averaged 7.8 ypc as a freshman and 7.0 ypc as a sophomore.
