Which offensive player is set for a "breakout" season in 2014?

Kelvin Taylor
In nine games, Taylor carried the ball 111 times for 508 yards (4.6 YPC) and 4 TDs.
Against LSU, Missouri, Georgia, and South Carolina, Taylor carried the ball 63 times for 298 times (4.7 YPC) and added 3 TDs during those four tilts proving that he is no slouch against top tier SEC competition.
He has good size at 5'10, 214 lbs and Chad Morris had a 1000+ yard rusher in all three seasons while he was OC at Clemson.
Bo Wallace
In two seasons as the Rebel QB, Bo Wallace has amassed serviceable statistics: 518/805, 64.3%, 6340 yards, 40 TDs, 27 INTs, 140.1 rating, 274 carries, 745 rushing yards, and 14 rushing TDs. Also, the Rebels have gone 15-11 during his tenure including two bowl wins, an Egg Bowl win, and an upset of #6 LSU in 2013.
Much of Bo's issues stem from his tendency, which was less prominently displayed in 2013, to force the ball into coverage. Also, the Rebel offensive line hasn't been particularly consistent during his time in Oxford.
In 2014, the Rebel OL looks to be talented, returning four out of five starters and adding the talented Austin Golson to the mix. The Rebel WR/TE corps returns four of the top six receivers, including SEC Freshman of the Year LaQuon Treadwell and senior Vince Sanders.
Bo was recovering from shoulder surgery last spring and summer. With a full spring and summer to work with Coach Freeze, the WRs, a talented OL, a stingy and physical defense, and a preseason top 25 ranking, the Rebel family has high expectations. In short, it's time for Dr. Bro to become an Ole Miss legend or give us another reason to say WAOM.
Shaq Roland
A top 100 recruit coming out of high school in Lexington, SC, and a true home-run threat, Roland has largely underperformed, totaling 30 career receptions for 535 yards and 6 TDs.
Roland missed the UCF, Kentucky, and Tennessee games for South Carolina during late September and early October. He did, however, come on strong for Cackalacky later in the season, totaling 16 receptions for 290 yards for a scorching 18.2 YPR average and 4 TDs in the Gamecocks final five games.
Dylan Thompson has a big arm and Carolina has favorable draws of Texas A&M and Auburn from the West. It's time for Roland to contribute.

I'm still doubting they reach eight wins next season. They caught major breaks last season with Tennessee still being down, Cackalacky shitting the bed in Knoxville, and UF and UGA not staying healthy.

In his five seasons as OC at Auburn and HC at Arky State (2009-2013), Gus has had seven 1000+ yard rushers, so CAP is a safe bet

quote:Nice write up on him and yes, he could have a breakout year, but I'm more excited about Pharoh Cooper. As a true freshman he did it all and was Freshman All-SEC. He'll be a big wildcat threat for us next year and he completed a touchdown pass vs Clemson to seal the game. Runs, catches, throws, returns punts and kicks while racking up 655 all-purpose yards.

Exactly. And he looked really good on the few occasions he was able to wrestle some carries away from Tre and Nick.
