That defensive intensity reminds me of our 2000 squad under Gary Nord, when we had that nasty front seven that just swarmed people. You're right about chemistry mattering more than portal shopping, something we learned the hard way after the WAC collapsed. I've seen too many teams with new faces every August struggle to tackle come September. If your linebackers are flying around like you say, that's how you win those early conference games that set the tone. Just hope that chip on their shoulder lasts through a full season. Good luck to y'all, except if you ever schedule us for the old Copper Bowl.
