Defense.
On offense we should be able to maul most teams with our rushing game but not sure Pittman will ever have an offense with the precision to put up the huge numbers require to win shootouts every week.

Quarterback…I don’t know how it could be anything else. Stetson was an easy target but that rascal got us out of some spots. Who knows if the next guy is up to it. Should have a real good support cast.

Motivation and entitlement, particularly among the young guys. 17 and 18 year old kids think just cuz they suit up in a UGA uni, they're just gonna waltz out there and cream everybody they play and win a NC because that's what teams 'do' at UGA. Its the whole Rocky III thing...he lost his passion and the 'eye of the Tiger' and Clubber Lang mopped the floor with him. He thought he was just gonna win because he was the great Rocky.
I hope this team hasn't lost the eye of the tiger.

For Auburn:
Not having more than 4 players who would start at any of the best 6 teams in the league.
Freeze is going to have to win with heart and effort and smoke and mirrors.
It will be a fun season and the talent is already starting to come. We can nitpick our team in a few years. Right now, we play the spoiler.
That said, Auburn going 15-0 this year!!!!

Depth at OT and to a lesser extent WR. Had several backup OTs and WRs transfer out.

Injuries.

Mizzou: Will Drinkwitz hand off the reigns of the offense and is the OC capable of taking them?
Part 2: if the OC is capable, will another QB who doesn’t have the wet noodle arm of Brady Cook take over throwing dimes to a capable receiving corps?

Flipped most of our Defense, the DL should be a strength and LBs should be faster but the Safety position is a concern.
On Offense we will have a new QB throwing to young receivers. OL should be solid and we have a very good trio of RBs.

Ole Miss has two.
1) We can't tackle very well. We were much better tackling in 2021 in our second year under DJ Durkin. But we regressed in 2022 after Durkin left for aTm. I am hopeful Pete Golding can coach our guys up to tackle better or at least be in better position to slow the other team's ball carrier down.
2) We lack downfield threats to keep the defense honest (to be honest, we've lacked a vertical passing game since about October 2021). We have brought in some talented transfers and I hope they can be the difference.

For Auburn
On Offense- QB. Who will it be and can they be an accurate enough passer to operate Freeze and Monty's system at an effective level. I think our OL will actually be very serviceable with the transfers brought in. Running game will be solid which should help the passing game.
WRs- Overhauled the WR w some size and what we hope to be talent...but it is just an unknown right now. We need 2 of the 4 WRs transfers to be legit.
On the Defensive side of the ball, I would say LB group is the biggest ?. I think the DL will solid with Harris, Jones, Rogers.
The other ? on front seven is pass rush. We should be better with J. McCleod but until I see him against SEC competition on a weekly basis he is unproven. I know he played well against Aggies last year. but that is one game and against a bad Aggy team.
Secondary should be legit. I have some cponcern at the other S spot next to Simpson but we should have a couple lock down corners in James and Pritchett.
From a whole team perspective.....DEPTH. Our 1s seem pretty decent across the board on both sides of the ball, but if we have injuries at key positions it could get bad. We aren't going to match talent wise with the upper teams, but I think we have good enough players that can keep us in games and with better coaching can overcome.
AU record prediciton if stay healthy - 9-3.
Most likely - 7-5

For Ole Miss:
Offensively I am concerned with our WRs as we don't have much back that are proven in the SEC. We got some really talented transfers in but very much in wait and see mode.
Defensively there's just a million new faces so everything gelling is a concern. Linebacker is the main position of concern but the players seem to love Golding. I'm also in wait and see mode about the DL depth but early reports are actually pretty good.
The defense is definitely the biggest concern overall. If the transfer WRs are as touted then I think the offense will be one of the best in the country. That said, the defense dominated the first fall scrimmage.
