Post a bold statement for this 2014 season

Going out on a limb, but that's the point of the thread..
I think we'll be top 3 in the conference in rush defense. 1st of all there's the addition by subtraction with the loss of Jake Holland. Cass in the middle and Frost on the outside should be better at plugging holes. I expect a lot less "whiffs" and missed arm tackles.
Also, I think having Justin Garrett healthy will be a tremendous asset in stopping the run game. He's a big hitter that can get in the backfield and disrupt plays.
One of the biggest reasons I think we improve is Derrik Moncrief. At 6'3 225 he can lurk around with the LB's and almost give us another LB presence in the secondary.
Last but not least we get some space eaters back in Angelo Blackson and Jeff Whitaker. Add some big guys like Gabe Wright and Monty on the outsides, we may not have that speedy pass rusher like Dee Ford or Corey Lemonier, but we'll definitely have some guys that can stop the run.
TL:DR What's your bold prediction?

I will not take a sip of alcohol before, during, or after an Auburn football game.
ETA: Oh, about the team. We will have three, THREE, one thousand yard rushers. We will have two, TWO, one thousand yard receivers.

Nick Marshall throws for 3000 yards.

Our offense ends up close to the same yards per game overall as '13, but end up with a 55/45 run/pass ratio rather than 65/35, due to JJ playing QB much more than anticipated.

Gabe Wright will be better coming off the edge than trying to bully his way through as a DT.

Marshall lights it up on the field.

Roc Thomas emerges as a legitimate playmaker and has over 900 yards rushing and finishes with better stats than Leonard Fournette.
I agree with the OP's statement about the defense. Our front 7 will cause enough havoc that our DBs won't have to be perfect. Our d line is going to be stupid good and Elijah Daniel will lead the team in sacks
Right around the corner, fellas! I'm pumped

This is possible.

I am there. We steam roll through and win the first playoff.
Now dammit, I have to spend the day at FSU. I really feel for the Tallahassee Auburn fans.

Auburn WILL score at least 40 points against Alabama. Bookmark it!
