Answer: probably not, especially if Wilde gets nicked up.

It's not atypical to have a big drop between #1 and 2, and between 2 and 3, but NU would struggle without Wilde.

Eligon is a personal favorite, a little like Prater, and can really go after it. He could bust out if opponents decide to double Wilde

I would say “depth” has to to mean beyond Eligon. Probably enough to be a little better than we were last year. Not enough to really have a top-half BiG10 passing game.
