And out of curiosity...what is your team shooting for and what do you think the chances are?

I wonder. Their defense will be killer. But will they even have an offense? Aren't they losing their top two RBs, their AA tight end, and their strangely schizophrenic QB?

Late to the party here, but
= WTF???
And hey, there's Arkansas at 20. Just happy to be included, but almost wish we weren't historically speaking.

Yes but one didn't even play this year. If Rawleigh Williams( our 2nd string back this year) returns healthy then I think we will be fine, adding Whaley helps alot.

their AA tight end
Will miss Henry but we have Sprinkle coming back and I don't think their will be much production loss at that position.

I think Enos was the main reason for Allen's success.
Many questions to be answered on offense but if we can get average to above average QB play then I think we will be fine. The defense is going to have to carry its weight like it did two years ago though.

A year ago we'd only be concerned with losing the RBs, but Allen really came on during the second half of the season and will be hard to replace. We do have a stable of 4* QBs that have been waiting their turn, look for Ricky Town to lead the pack. Rawleigh Williams was looking like a stud RB before his neck injury and we're on some RB talent in this class, plus have super-super 6th year senior Kody Walker returning. Bielema will always have capable RBs in his system, so it's not a huge concern here. We've got Jeremy Sprinkle returning as the #1 TE after Henry's departure and look for former stud TE Chris Gragg's younger brother Will to make some noise, so we're in good hands there.
Overall we do lose a lot of production and experience on offense and it'll take time to replace, but the talent is definitely there. It'll just be a matter of getting the newer guys settled in before they start firing on all cylinders again. Defense is returning its core starters and adding some promising guys, should only get better and look like last year's overly disruptive and stingy unit.
I'm basing the entire season on the QB position, we'll be more than alright everywhere else.

Ricky Town
Forgot about Ricky. He's a definite talent. His odyssey from HS to settling down at a college seemed a bit diva-ish, but I honestly have no other complaint, so I'll wait until he actually plays before judging him. If the RB your fellow poster mentioned above is good, a good QB and RB and a monster defense can go far. Ask Bama.
