QB- The HBC has two very capable quarterbacks in Connor Shaw and Dylan Thompson. Connor is a good athlete, and is not a bad passer he will be our starter. Dylan is the better passer of the two but is no slouch and is more elusive than he is given credit for and will play this year in some form or fashion.
RB- USC has a very good stable of RBs Mike Davis, Brandon Wilds, and Shon Carson. Not to mention a very talented true freshman David Williams. Mike Davis will be the starter but Brandon Wilds and Shon Carson will play. Brandon Wilds became the starter in 2011 after Lattimore Shon Carson and Kenny Miles went down with injuries.
TE- This is a very good group. IMHO we have the best TEs in the country. Busta Anderson is a big strong player that can block and all he does is catch Touchdowns he is the starter. Busta has 27 receptions for 10 Touchdowns. Then here comes Jerell Adams 6-foot-6 240 lbs can catch and run like a deer. We also have Drew Owens 6-foot-6 250 very athletic fell behind on the depth chart because of an injury last season. Look for the TEs to make a lot of plays this year and our offense using a lot of two tightend sets.
WR- Starters Bruce Ellington, Nick Jones and Shaq Roland or Damiere Byrd. A lot of talent and speed, but Roland has to prove himself as a sophomore and show why he was a 5* product and former Mr. Football winner for the state of SC. Shamier Jeffery is also trying to make a name for himself this year and get from underneath the shadow his big brother cast (Alshon).

IMO this group of WR is a lot like what SOS had when he was at UF.

QB- James Franklin will start for the third season in a row, to the dismay of many of the Mizzou loyals. RS Freshman Maty Mauk will serve as "the backup" although he is expected to take a handful of series each game, and possibly pass Franklin by season's end. True freshman Eddie Printz Jr. has moved up to #3 on the depth chart, and is getting scrimmage reps with the 2's. Although he is expected to take a redshirt this year, and allow Corbin Berkstresser who filled in a few games as last year's starter to take the 3 spot.
RB- Yes, Henry Josey is back as the starter. We're all hoping he's the same guy who gained 1250 yards and 8.1 ypc over 10 games in 2011. Right behind him is true Soph. Russell Hansborough. This guy got extensive playing time last year as a frosh, and is expected to carry much of the load again this year. Behind him is All-American Marcus Murphy. If you don't know who he is, just ask Alabama. Rounding out the top 4 is wrecking ball Greg White. The only back we carry who weighs in at over 230 lbs., he is expected to contribute solely as a goal line and short yardage back.
FB- Hahaha
TE- Leading the one's this year will be RS Frosh Sean Culkin. This guy is 6'5 255, runs like a deer, and could legitimately pass as a stand in for Thor. He's so highly regarded, that he was actually supposed to start as a true freshman last year, before breaking his fingers in preseason and taking a RS. The last 3 Mizzou starting TE's have either been Mackey award winners, or All-Americans, he'll be next. Behind him is the starter from the last two seasons Eric Waters. He's really a big slow wide receiver, who gets put in the slot and labeled a TE. And rounding out the top 3 is true freshman Jason Reese. From his camp performance, it looks like he might avoid a RS and contribute this season.
WR- Regardless of your SEC arrogance, Mizzou consistently has one of the top WR corps in the nation. And this group is the highest regarded since the '07 national title contender crew, most of which are playing on Sundays. Anyway Mizzou actually lists 12 starters on offense, and 4 of these are WR positions. At one spot yes, DGB is actually starting this year. Expect him to continue the performance he had in the last few games of 2012. At another starting spot, we have Marcus Lucas. At 6'5 230, this is his 3rd season as a starter, and there is serious draft talk surrounding this guy, watch out. Our big play specialist is L'Damian Washington. At 6'5 190 this guy looks and runs like a Jamaican sprinter. If you can stop him at the line great. If not, you better pray the ball doesn't get thrown his way, because you're not catching him. In the slot we once again have Jimmie Hunt. This guy is a terror in the open field, and gets a TD for every 3 balls that he catches. Of course rotating with this group will be a handful of studs, including former Texas 5* and #1 ranked receiver Darius White. This guy has serious pro porential, and still doesn't crack the starting rotation. That should tell you how deep this group is.
