We can. A lot of things have to happen though.

1. We have to ensure that the offense is truly tailored to fit the talent we have. Coach Kingsbury said last night in the post-award press conference that there were several times in practice that they stopped the plays early due to apparent sacks because they didn't think that Manziel would be able to JFF his way out of them. They've now got 10 months to tailor it not only to him, but to the eligible backs, the new receivers, and that beast of a tight end that we have coming in.

2. Depends on how quickly the stud recruits on defense get into place. If we end up having a dominant defense, it won't matter if Manziel's numbers go down...and it may force his numbers to go down due to short fields.

3. Kicking game. Bertolet has GOT to improve drastically from inside 40 yards. He already cost us one game this year and almost cost us 3 more.

You can have all the talent in the world on defense, but you need an incredible scheme and coaches. You aren't elite in that aspect yet.

Not saying your D is bad like Clemons, but they always have elite defensive players and it doesn't help them at all.

Why do you people think the OT's are coming back? That would be the dumbest fricking thing ever for them. Takes one fat arse SEC DL rolling over your knee to end your career and chance at MILLIONS. I don't care if they have family money. They could make their own millions.

Also, losing Swope will hurt more than people think. JM relied on him in basically every clutch play. Dude is money. That kind of chemistry can't just be replicated with a new WR.
