I think it's a real tossup, but you have to like Bama's chances.
The OL will always be solid. An OL with Steen and Kouandjio automatically one of the best in the nation, and if Fluker stays then it'll be even better.
McCarron is back with all of his weapons sans Michael Williams and likely Eddie Lacy. Plus he adds more, and OJ Howard is a mismatch for anyone who tries to cover him.

Ole Miss will be taken more seriously next year. They won't have the target that Bama, LSU, UGA and Florida have but they will certainly be taken more serious. After 4 games, fans and coaches still thought Auburn could make a turn in the positive and that completely shite the bed.
I can see your point but our offense went at about 50% pace this year. We are going to do nothing but go faster next year. We couldn't do that this year because of the lack of depth on the defensive end. If we go 3 and out and run 50 sec of the clock our defense is would have been dead by the 4th quarter. Freeze has said he wants to go about 80% speed this year which will help us late in games.

But Freeze seems to be a good one for you, he is recruiting well and coaching well.
It reminds me too much of Nutt after the 08 season though. If he can pull in some of the guys we have left on the board, ill feel a lot better. You can make the argument that we are only in on so many of these names in recuritng because they want to play with Nkemdichie. It will be interesting if we are in the game with this many high profile recruits next year.

USC will contend but probably won't be #1. We return just about everyone as well. Losing Lattimore & Kenny Miles, Sr. TE Justice Cunningham, Sr. C TJ Johnson, and Sr. WR DL Moore (who only started 5 games and progressively got less playing time).
Return
QB- Connor Shaw & Dylan Thompson
RB- Mike Davis, Shon Carson, and Brandon Wilds
WR- Ace Sanders, Bruce Ellington, Damiere Byrd, Shaq Roland, and Nick Jones
OL- 4 guys (just lose our Center)
TE- Rory Anderson, Jerell Adams, Kelvin Rainey, and Drew Owens (should be best TE grouping in SEC)

LSU had 10 games of film on Ole Miss and won on a punt return.

Too close to call...Georgia will remain a powerhouse, as will Alabama, LSU's o-line will remain strong, but Mettenberger remains a question mark in my mind...if he continues to improve, LSU will definitely be a contender, and then there's A&M... Manziel is obviously great, he makes things happen and turns bad plays into good plays, but if he should be injured, they just might have a train wreck on their hands.

It'll be interesting to see what kind of numbers Kentucky puts up with Neal Brown installing the air raid. It won't take long at all to install it and there's some talent on that side of the ball at WR, RB, and at QB with Maxwell Smith healthy.

OG- Burnette
OT- Theus
TE- Lynch
QB- Murray
FB- Ogletree
RB- Gurley
bold denotes returning starter

If Murray doesn't, A&M #1, Alabama #2, Georgia #3.
Appreciate the optimism, but there's no way you can say we'll have the 3rd best offense with a brand new, unproven QB. Regardless of how good everybody else is.

I was thinking the same thing 
. You can pick out the sunshine pumpers because every year they think LSU is going to either have an offensive heisman candidate or have one to the top SEC offenses. I expect us to be 5th or 6th next year in offense which would be good for us

1. Texas A&M. JFF is a monster.
2. UGA. If Murray returns they will have a good O
3. Auburn. I know you guys will laugh, but Malzahn offense will score points. They may stall when facing some of the better defenses but they are going to score a ton of points against every one else.
4. Alabama. The offensive line will need some time to get it all together. AJ know his own pass protections so that will make it easy for them. There's a lot of weapons and Nussmierer will be in his second season.
5. Ole Miss. I just like these guys. They attack on offense and break all the rules. They show you so many different looks and they play with an attitude. They may not stop you on defense all the time but they play with passion and they hit hard.

Um, no. So much wrong with your statement. Tebow as QB>>>Latt as RB.
Still though, there is no replacing a guy like Lattimore but we DO have PROVEN guys behind him running behind one of the better OLines we've had in a long while. We only lost two games in the past two years after Latti went down. Brandon Wilds picked up the slack in 2011 and Mike Davis has lived up to his billing as well. Plus we get Shon Carson back as well who was listed as #2 back behind Latt when he came in as a freshman.
Mike Davis in 2012
52 carries for 275 yards (5.29 YPC) and 2 TDs. He got the bulk of his carries later in the season against Arky and Clemson.
Brandon Wilds in 2011 (medical redshirt this year)
107 carries for 486 yards (4.54 YPC) and 3 TDs. Also 15 catches for 136 yards. Again, he got the majority of his carries late in the year once Lattimore went down. He had 3 100 yard games against Tennessee (his first start), Florida, and the Citadel.

I remember Mike Davis. He's real good, but he's not even in the same stratosphere as Latt. And as for the other guy:
Only 1 of those teams has a defense that isn't a complete embarrassment.

I know, I know. They do not have a QB and they still may need to work some things out on the offensive line. But they have talent on the O line, at RB and WR/TE. Gus runs a crazy hurry up scheme and he has proven his offenses can put up points.
They will have a solid competition going at QB and I think at the very least a decent starting QB will emerge. I think if no one can argue with Ole Miss being ranked in the top 5 of SEC offenses next season, then it's not out of question to think Auburn can be ranked in the top 5 as well running a Malzahn offense.

Those are both pretty important when determining how good an offense will be.

I didn't state otherwise. I agree.
quote:

A true freshman making his first start in Knoxville and running for over 100 is impressive. He built on that as the season went on. He'll still be our #3 guy probably but he did what was asked of him. 3 100 yard games out of four starts is better than we could have hoped.
ETA: All I'm saying is that these guys are proven enough that we know we can rely on them. We'll certainly take a hit in the running game but with our QB (and backup), entire WR corp, and 4/5ths of our OLine returning, we should be more improved all around. Hopefully, of course.
