I think it's within the realm of possibility that Okereke, Alfieri and, uhhh, someone else to play at an all-conference level. (I don't see an obvious candidate for a third star, but that doesn't mean there isn't someone poised to have a breakout year.)

If that happens, I think the rest of the guys can play at a level to make the defense better than last year.
