Overall there are very few question marks as long they can stay healthy and fresh like last year.
I don't think anyone is concerned about Stick, but his role has changed and there is no arguing that fact. We already know what he have in him as a backup that came in with nothing to lose, but how he approaches the starting role and being "the man" now is what I'm really looking forward to seeing. I think he runs as often as we need it because that only adds one more thing for a defense to worry about. Something that people often forget when pointing out Stick going 8-0 is that the entire team changed when Carson went down. The line improved and we therefore ran the ball more effectively, especially King. The defense improved by leaps and bounds, and that takes a lot of pressure off the offense. The play calling was probably simplified a bit too with Stick under center and the Bison just really went back to the basics which is something that has always worked.
