I have to agree with you. We will find out pretty early.

Too many questions on the line of scrimmage.

Coleman has to get better at left tackle, our line held a lot on passing plays this past year, lost Reese, Kozan may or may not be what he was. We have talent and are deep enough but have to have a lot of guys on the oline really step up and get better to have a really good or great oline.

Defensive line needs depth to develop. Barring injury our starters will be great but we rotate a lot and have to make sure we can go 8 deep.

Our OL should get better push in the run game which will help our pass blocking. While we lose guys like Reece, our interior OL is getting bigger and stronger which should be huge for us.

We seem to banking on Swain and potentially D. Lawrence producing at an acceptable level next year. It is kind of scary

I believe you will see a much improved Coleman as I believe his strength and conditioning will be much improved.

I agree with all the rest as well.

My only concern is how he will hold up over the course of a season and if his ceiling for conditioning/strength is high enough concerning his medical history.

I hope we start outside the top 10.


Realistically we probably should, but this program needs to start meeting expectations.

The only time we ever seriously contend is when nobody expects anything from us. Pick us as a top-5 team, and we end up with four or five losses. I'd like for us to be ranked near the top and finish near the top for once.

This dude is trolling with that high a ranking. Auburn never does well with high expectations. Prefer somewhere like No.14. Decent and within striking distance, but not too high.
