Good list and analysis. But I still have not been hearing much about Ladarius Phillips, Craig Sanders, CJ or Dee Ford in most of Auburns videos or write ups...
Id really like to see Craig get some playing time. I think he could be unreal but it looks like second string behind Nosa for him.
I did see Ladarius Phillips catch a few balls in the scrimmage but I also heard that Chizik was upset with him because he wanted him to drop a few pounds and he checked in last week at 290. It may be the doghouse for him.
I do agree that it is going to be a very difficult year to predict. I certainly think we will start off slow and do better as we gain a little playing time. Unfortunately for us, we do not have a schedule that allows that.

4-8 very possible.
5-7 most likely
7-5 absolute best case scenario

I feel like we should have heard more about Craig, too, but I'm sure once he knows his position he'll be a monster.
This year is going to take some luck to pull off.

I have heard a couple of positive comments about Craig Sanders and Dee Ford, but they are stuck behind our two best defensive players.
I am genuinely concerned about DTs and LBs. I think we will be much improved against the pass this year, but I am very worried about our run D.
The offense will look different without Cam for sure, but Gus' offense is going to produce points and will be in the top 3 or 4 in the league. Also, I am very encouraged about everything I am hearing about the O-Line and Tre Mason. I don't think the line is going to be a weakness for us like most predict. We may take a small step back early in the season from where the line was last year, but later in the year I think this will be a very good group with solid depth.
7-5 is my best guess, but I think we have a chance to do a couple of games better (and worse) than that.
