If you're hoping we're going to be down on the D side of the ball, you're probably going to be disappointed.

We've been recruiting well there so we're not dependant on the new class for success on that side of the ball this year.

I'm not convinced we'll take a step back. To the contrary, there's a chance we'll be better.

From what I:be been told for several weeks now, and I shared this on our board, last year there were some chemistry issues and work issues. This year, as recently alluded to by the HBC himself, this is the hardest working, most focused team in the off season he's had in awhile.

The chemistry is very good on this team ... and they are talented.

We've got guys who have been patiently waiting their turns playing in the shadow of the others. We've been reloading ... so our cupboard is not bare in the least.

DLine and LB are most important to us vs UGA. We'll be better there this year than we were last year IMHO without all the attention and distration on Clowney. Different chemistry, more of a team thing than an individual thing.

There's a chance but it's not likely.

South Carolina, Statistically, will be better, but that's because the offenses in the conference will be worse, not so much because USCe is going to be better or more talented on that side of the ball.

Perhaps. In South Carolina's most recent game, they gave up 293 rushing yards at 6.8 yards per rush to Wisconsin. That defense has lost several starters. Until the replacements prove themselves, I'd be concerned about your rushing defense since this is a league that's known for strong rushing attacks.
