Week One - what are we watching for?

The quest to repeat begins in a couple sleeps. Big one on Saturday, because it's the next one. What are you all watching for on Saturday? Here's three things I'm looking at: - TE Rotation I think it will be tough to gauge much from how the RB and WR split snaps on Saturday, but do think we'll learn a lot about how they view the very young and inexperienced TE room. Does Schott start and play a majority of the snaps or will they give guys a series each to ride the hot hand? - Hoover Easy one, but very interested to see how comfortable Josh Hoover looks against NT. We've seen Rourke and Mendoza struggle slightly in week one the past two years, so here's to hoping Hoover looks comfortable in a system that he should play very well in. - LB3 Behind two preseason All-Americans in Jones and Hardy, who plays that LB3 role in running situations and what does the backup rotation look like? We saw Turner and Utzinger play in situational downs last season, but IU is apparently very high on True Frosh Jacob Savage. What are you watching for?
