Here's a good place to start

Yet, Redmond isn't a "returning starter.
Yet, neither Jones or Adams are "returning starters."
Yet, neither Ross or Brown are "returning starters."
In all fairness, offensive line is a concern:

On the surface, the reasoning is sound. However, the loss of 15 starters from 2014 is a skewed.
“I know a lot of people think we're going to be a young football team,” MSU coach Dan Mullen said. “I like that people think that, but the fact that we rotate, we play a lot of guys in the course of games, guys have experience.”
It’s more than experience in some circumstances. Mississippi State will upgrade in at least four positions that lost starters last year.
Defensively, Will Redmond takes over at cornerback and Chris Jones will start at defensive line. The duo has already earned preseason accolades on numerous watchlists. ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. ranks Redmond as one of the best senior corners in the country.
Yet, Redmond isn't a "returning starter.
quote:
On the defensive line, Jones is the defense’s only former five-star recruit. No one debates his NFL-potential talent.
He’ll be joined by senior Nelson Adams in replacing P.J. Jones and Kaleb Eulls. Adams finished with more tackles for loss and sacks than P.J. Jones. He also recorded more quarterback hurries than both departing seniors combine.
Yet, neither Jones or Adams are "returning starters."
quote:
Prescott’s offense lost seven starters from last year – another number that tells only half the story. Ross and Fred Brown finished with more receptions and yards (48 catches for 788 yards) than starters Jameon Lewis and Robert Johnson (46 catches for 607 yards).
Yet, neither Ross or Brown are "returning starters."
In all fairness, offensive line is a concern:
quote:
The real issues appear on the offensive line and at tight end.
“We lost three guys last year, but I wouldn’t hesitate to say the guys we have this year aren’t talented,” Prescott said. “They’re not quite as experienced, obviously the guys we just lost were five-year guys, but I think they’re more talented though.”

So they will start off hot and flame out late like always. Good to know. Well I kind of already figured that, but

As an Alabama fan, you have nothing to worry about. We play you late in the year.
This is mainly for the LSU and Auburn fans that just believe they are entitled to the win over MSU. I tried to warn them last year.

Prescott basically confirms that your OL isn't talented. Grind [on][OFF].

You tried to warn LSU that y'all weren't a guaranteed win last year after losing 21 of 22 in the previous 22 seasons?

I would note that if replay existed in 1999, it would have been 22 in a row.

It's like that for many teams. Auburn's defense is only returning "6 starters". That doesn't include Carl Lawson (5 Star and former starter), Byron Cowart (5 Star), Tre Williams (5 Star, had significant playing time last year), or Tray Matthews (4 Star, Started for Georgia)

He fielded a mixture of more experienced but less talented and less experienced but more talented guys about equally. Now the starters are both experienced and talented.
