Coach Mac has built Spartan FB into a damn good team. However, no better than some of Claude Gilbert's damn good teams, or Lynn Stiles etc. The difference is that coach Mac has this team "stacked," in certain areas. When he fills all areas he will have a damn "Great" team, relatively speaking. Not SEC great, but MWC great. This is what I see right now: he's got "real" depth at LB. This year's recruits have size, speed, strength and will get stronger. He's almost there with the OL. There are a lot of young men that also have the size and athleticism that SJSU has never had. He's almost there with the DBs. Finally SJSU has DBs that can lay down the wood on people, and not just reach out with arm tackles that were always broken for long gains. In the next two years if he builds the S, DE, DT, WR positions the Spartans will be the next Boise St. Of course, the QBs have got to develop throughout that time. Blake Jurich seems like he can take the mantle after David Fales, and if not htere are some candidates in the stable. I think Jason Habash may surprise.
