To help read this .. for ISUr, we have 7.3 off starters returning and 6.8 def starters for total of 14.1 which ranks 54th out of 126 FCS teams. Note we lost 2 returning starters to grad transfer which if they stayed would have puts at 16.1 returners and 1st in MVFC.

Note NDSU is 2nd to last in FCS ... some how I think they will be ok. Recall they lost a lot incl head coach after 2013 .. they did ok in 2014 .. cough cough.
