Will is going to get blitzed constantly, cole smith can’t replace sharp at center, it’s going to be a long season. loss of Wheat, Charlton Banks, weak pass rush, Can’t run 3-3-5 with all the safeties gone. defense returns four starters. Iffy at corner without Forbes.

5-7 is about right. next season could be 3-9 as just about everybody on offense is gone.

Teams lose players every year.

We return the top tackling duo in the SEC at LB, and have 3 Rfr guys who will contribute, along with two other co-starters at their spots. We have a lot of young depth at safety and added two starters who transferred in from the SEC, and BIG 10. Cornerback returns #2,#3, and #4 depth plus 2 transfers from LSU and Miami. Plenty of material.

DL returns starting NT and starting DT, one starter at DE and an LSU transfer and returning Alabama transfer. Lots of younger depth on roster that will trickle in along the way.

We also return the best kick returner in the country, and one of the better punt returners from '22.

Haha the OL only lost one starter and we have more than one guy who can play center. This will definitely be a group to watch early with the schematic changes, but we are extremely experienced with short yardage, high percentage passes to move the ball and negate those issues. The RB group has experience speed and talent. I'm not worried one bit with that group.

We brought in TE transfers from Georgia and TCU and rotated other guys in for depth. WR is loaded with returning starters and transfers. Another group that is of no concern whatsoever.

I expect struggles but this team can win 6-7 games in the worst case.

Why didn’t you name all the returning starters and guys that played as much as the starters? Players like Crumedy and Pickering on the DL. The leading tacklers in the SEC are returning. Returning one starting corner. The other corner is a senior that has played a lot. The safeties that are seniors that has played a lot of snaps. You failed to mention those.
