My Analysis:
QB: This was our 2nd weakest position last season. If Brantley shows improvement, we should be alright. (The kid has the skills, just needs the confidence) Two highly touted backups are waiting for a chance (Driskel and Murphy)
RB: Our two returning (though undersized in a pro-scheme) RB's may be the fastest tandem in CFB. Combine that with a few larger and younger RB's and Trey Burton in the FB slot....No Problem.
WR: Our receivers were quiet last year because of shoddy QB, System, Play call, etc. With improvement all around on Offense, they should do well.
OL: Weakest position last year. Provided NO protection for the QB. Could hardly snap the ball for the first part of the season. I don't think there will be a MAJOR improvement, but we will show signs of moving in the right direction.
Defense: The D should be scarry good. CB's are a little young (with the loss of JJ) but will hold their own. We got the tools and coaching to have one of the best Defenses in the country by the end of the season.
Special Teams: Sturgis is back but Chaz is gone. Our return game has been in question this off season (whether we are going to use our TE or not). Either way, I'm not worried about ST.
Prediction for Auburn: 6-6/7-5 Most AU fans think the LSU, ARK, and Bama games will be close. I think Auburn walks out of all 3 with a L along with UGA and USC. I also think they struggle when UF comes to town and could end up losing that one in a close game.
Prediction for UF: 8-4/9-3 If the Gators can find an Offensive Identity, things will be looking up in G-ville for a very long time.

As previously stated, Eltoro SUCKS in pass coverage.
Chizik said J. Rose has a lot to learn and a lot of growing up to do. Kid does have a ton of talent though.
My prediction is this season will be pretty rough based on schedule and lack of experience, but by season's end Auburn should be clicking on all cylinders.
Auburn will lose a couple of games early on that will frustrate the fans, but I beleive they spoil bammer's season in Nov.

I have heard a couple of positive comments about Craig Sanders and Dee Ford, but they are stuck behind our two best defensive players.
I am genuinely concerned about DTs and LBs. I think we will be much improved against the pass this year, but I am very worried about our run D.
The offense will look different without Cam for sure, but Gus' offense is going to produce points and will be in the top 3 or 4 in the league. Also, I am very encouraged about everything I am hearing about the O-Line and Tre Mason. I don't think the line is going to be a weakness for us like most predict. We may take a small step back early in the season from where the line was last year, but later in the year I think this will be a very good group with solid depth.
7-5 is my best guess, but I think we have a chance to do a couple of games better (and worse) than that.

Id really like to see Craig get some playing time. I think he could be unreal but it looks like second string behind Nosa for him.
I'm glad he decommitted from Bama...

Auburn will not beat LSU in Death Valley this year. Auburn will also get skull f&*ked by Alabama this year. Those guys will have done nothing but think about revenge for 365 days. And this year, they will be a A LOT better than Auburn. It's cyclical. Next year may be different. But this year, I think Alabama absolutely destroys Auburn. Hangs as many points on you as possible. They aren't out to win - they are out for a reckoning.

Not for me.
Bama and LSU lose 0-2 games each.
AU loses 4-6 games.

If Auburn has all this talent.Why didn't they play last yr.Auburn Defense was mediocre without Fairley.Most people outside of Auburn thinks yall would have been a 500 team without Fairley and Cam.BTW this is not flame,it's a legit?
