Jeff Driskell is garbage and would not start for any other team in the SEC except maybe UT. Muschamp will be fired for sticking with that injury prone clown.

Bama will hang 40+ on UF and Driskell probably won't finish the game


For the first time since the Vanderbilt game in 2012 (you remember that game-- its the one where Jeff torched you for nearly 200 on the ground), Driskel will primarily be running the spread option-- he's gonna run 10+ times a game and only be asked to make 1 read and run. Physically he's the most talented QB in the SEC and top 5 nationally his problem is mental he's not good at reading a defense but in the spread option even a guy like Vince Young can make the reads.

This differs from Coker how exactly? I mean if we look at what he's actually done in the limited downs he's played he's mediocre. The Running Back Equivalent of Coker would be if Drake transferred from Bama to say UGA next season after Gurley leaves and everyone just assumed he was going to be the best RB in college football in 2015.

So at one time, FSU had the following QBs on its roster:

- NFL First Rounder
- Heisman Winner
- Starting QB at WVU
- ESPN Pre-Season #1 Breakout Player

I am glad to see Robinson made the list. That is a smart pick.

Fournette may be the best rb the sec has ever had. May break every rushing record at LSU, but when your head coach is saying things like he is like Tiger Woods with a putter. Dont start stupid arse crap about Bama hyping a qb.

The reason Coker did not have to sit out a year, He graduated from FSU.

16. DuPriest - Bama


I am not sure how Depriest could be considered a breakout player.

I think they're saying that without Mosley, he'll finally be THE guy at the position, and may be able to prove himself more than he has. The last five games last year he played just as well as Mosley, now he has to do that for a full season.

They named Ramsey at FSU - breakout in this sense means going from solid starter to transcendent all-American status.

How do you all know so much about who will be Bama's QB? My uncle will be at practice in a couple of weeks and said it is not decided.

As far as Tennessee is concerned-

Jalen Reeves-Maybin So LB
Dillon Bates Fr LB
Corey Vereen So DE

- are all pretty much locks to break out this year.

They're too busy trying to get more subscribers to signup before football season starts to make a legit list. Putting Coker #1 got them thousands of dollars from new Bama fans signing up. If that wasn't the reason for the list it would be free. The simple fact that the best reasons they could come up with for putting him first was that he is 6-5 230lbs and his HC said he is good, tells you its a shite list.

Exactly. Crazy arse fans and media are one thing but at least our head coach has some verbal restraint. LSU's head coach is comparing his freshman to Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan.
