Edward Aschoff
Who?
LSU's offense still has one of the best/deepest running games around and gets an upgrade with quarterback Zach Mettenberger.
Who?
The defending champs lost a lot of star power on defense, but that unit should still be pretty darn good this fall. There could be some growing pains at times, but the Tide should still have one of the league's best defensive units this fall.
Why?
The offense might be better and more balanced this fall, even without Trent Richardson.
More balanced? Ok. Better? Why?
a little more explosiveness and athleticism to work with at receiver.
No Julio. No Maze. No Hanks. Who the hell is this guy talking about?
but the team has bought in to what interim coach John L. Smith is saying.
What has he been saying?
Wilson lost three NFL receivers, but his receiving corps doesn't lack talent. Questions still surround the defense
Why would anyone think that losing three NFL receivers would mean a loss of talent? Who is replacing those three receivers? Must be Jerry Rice and Randy Moss's genetically engineered offspring.
Isaiah Crowell is gone, but the Bulldogs seem happy with their stable of running backs and were probably going to run by committee again this season anyway
Georgia's one running back that was a threat on the ground last year is gone, but it's all good. They'd rather run a stable of wannabes anyway.
Marcus Lattimore is one of the nation's best, and he appears to be 100 percent after his ACL injury.
Does this guy have video I don't have? Has he attended practices? Okay, so I'm being overly cynical with this one, but screw this Aschoff.
But for Will Muschamp, his second-year success will be determined by what the offense can do. Questions are everywhere, starting with a quarterback battle that isn't close to being settled. There are unproven pieces at receiver and the offensive line, which returns most of last year's parts, struggled mightily in 2011.
So an offense worse off than last year is going to help Florida finish higher in the SEC than last year. Ooooook.
However, Da'Rick Rogers is gone, which means the pressure is on Hunter, who is coming off an ACL injury, and Patterson, who is in from the juco ranks.
So in other words, no one has a freaking clue what Tennessee's passing game is giong to be like now that their one proven receiver is gone.
There is a lot of confidence in quarterback Tyler Russell, who can finally call this team his
There's always some kind of "confidence" hype with Miss State. Every damn year. When has their confidence ever actually amounted to anything?
The newbies don't lack confidence, but on paper they lack size up front -- on both sides. The staff and players say it's not a problem
Yeah, let's take their word for it.
