My observations, Qb's and Receivers:
We are better at receiver from a unit standpoint than at anytime I can remember in the past. That goes back a ways.
Fred Brown is what I thought he was when he was recruited, a very overlooked, extremely athletic, tough x-factor guy that would have been a 4-star recruit with 2 dozen offers, if he had been from TX.
Fred Ross is going to have a good Soph year. Good speed and will likely prosper in the space vacated by Chappelle who is apparently no longer with us
DeRunnya Wilson is a rising star and has the speed to get separation and the length to make receptions with coverage. A HUGE year could await him.
BJ Hammond is big and looked good out there.
Gabe Myles, I didn't get a roster so I'm unsure of his number. Everything I've heard is good stuff.
Qb- Damn I'm freaking impressed. Never been this good at State at the qb position group..and one isn't even here yet.
Prescott is the obvious stud leader and picked where he left off, but Damian looked more refined in his passing than last year. He just looked plain good Saturday.
Fitzgerald looks like he's already been here a year and played as a Tfr. I was very impressed with his arm and poise. Remember this was a run first qb in hs and could run very well. But he was only a 2** recruit so it must be a fluke***
The scrimmage was obviously tailored to emphasize these position groups, so I'm cautiously optimistic that this will be our best offense in the modern era.

I'm with you.
Was very close to that last year while we were still pounding square pegs in round holes part of the time at QB and most of the time at RB -- with a very inexperienced group of receivers starting out...

I'm just happy with the depth we have, specifically at WR, CB, LB, and DL.

USA Today article on 2014 expectations
Just watched the replay on CSS.
FRED BROWN is a ball magnet. His routes are crispy and he's good at the jump ball. Awesome hands. Obvious star during this game.
Nick James appeared more fit. May be the new TV.
Damian Williams is harder to tackle and threw a few brilliant passes. Falling defenders will not tackle this guy.
I hate to pump sunshine but with our depth, the schedule laid out nicely (thanks, Larry T.) we have the chance to make a little noise this season and seal up a nice recruiting class.
I'll be Borat seeing Pam Anderson excited when Dak trots out against Southern Miss.

We need AJ Jefferson to have a big year at DE. Preston is a good player but after him we fall off pretty quick.

AJ and Ryan Brown are roughly interchangeable at this point -- we've got the JUCO coming -- and you've got McKinney and Chris Jones that will both play some DE at times...
I agree that our depth there isn't quite as good as it is at tackle...

That scheme changed drastically depending on our opponents last Season as well, and it made us look awesome at moments and flat at others.. Collins got it figured out by end of season though so I ain't even scared.

I just hope we don't have that thing where we give up a score right before halftime every game.

I just hope we don't build up our D-Line like we do every spring and then they don't do shite. Like every year

Our D was 4th in the SEC last year. The D-Line was the best group that we had.

LB was our best group.

Sacks aren't indicative of a good defense. Rarely are the best defensive teams high sack/TFL teams. Why? Because they don't have to gamble...
