Watched our one and only FBS game this season, now (if post are correct) we are at 70 scholarships with 15 extras left. Where do we need to concentrate our efforts to compete at the FBS level?
As always Im a trenches type guy, so its OL and DL but DBs are in need of some depth.

OL/DL. End of story.
We don't need more QB scholarships. We just need better QBs.
I'd be inclined to believe that theory holds for DBs as well.
I'm hopefully writing yesterday off as "FCS team with first year HC has growing pains against FBS squad."
But man, it was not confidence inspiring. We looked downright terrible.

Oh long snapper is well on his way to having that covered for us. Oh wait... You're talking about DBs. My bad. |

30 Safeties/Corners. Each 1/2 scholarships with other 1/2 coming from grants and academic scholarships. Maybe give 28 half scholarships and a full ride to one poor bastard to act as a practice WR. |

Size along the line of scrimmage must be our next upgrade.
I find it interesting that our best secondary guy bolted to Florida State as a grad transfer but has yet to show any stats.

Obviously, OL/DL are priorities when it comes to those additional scholarships. We don't just need more schollies, though. We need more strength. On the plus side, the linemen look a lot better conditioned this fall than years past. That's after, what... 9 months under the new regime? That puts those most of those guys about where they need to be at the end of their freshman year in a solid FBS program. (Meaning, we have RS-seniors out there who are just now where they should've been as freshmen.)
2-3 more years of this kind of improvement will get them where they need to be for FBS.
Our DBs, as a group, are terrible. Coach up the ones who are coach-uppable. Sign better ones where we can.
We need better WRs, overall, and definitely more depth. As with DBs, coach up the coachable. But we need to step up recruiting here.
