re: Murray is staying

Now that we are back on topic.

The O is going to be crazy good!

So let's put this in perspective....

On an offense that averaged 40 points a game, we're only losing Tavarres King, Richard Samuel, and Marlon Brown... AND THAT'S IT.

The entire starting offensive line (and ALL depth) is returning and we're likely adding Tunsil and Kublanow, both of which can probably start or most definitely play in rotation right away, making our depth that much better.

Plus, what about the kid that keeps getting screwed because of the BS PED rules? Doesn't he still have like 2 years eligibility? If he finally clears to play, that is.

Our OL struggled a little bit at the beginning of the season, but considering we had two freshman run the ball over 2K yards and Murray didn't get hurt and ended up throwing a school record TD's, they didn't do bad at all.

Our depth at RB is going to be ridonkulous. Turman is terribly under-rated and if Kamara commits, we're beyond set for the next 3 years. It'll be like having Gurshall #1 with Gurshall #2 waiting in the wings. And Ken Malcome for mop up duty is hilarious. Poor guy. Great for us, but sux for him.

Plus don't be surprised to see Tramel Terry and JJ Green get some snaps out of the backfield. And absolutely get ready to see these guys returning kicks and punts. MM scared the crap out of me on kick returns and "Fair-Catch McGowan" made me want to slit my wrists. Terry and Green are bona fide return it to the house threats. Just watch.

As for the receiving corps... losing TK and MB won't be felt one bit. Conley can already do what TK did, except probably better. Rumph is essentially an MB clone. And we'll be getting Bennett back. Not to mention MM, Lynch, and Rome. MM will be full time O from day 1 and Rome will have a HUGE breakout year, mark it. Plus I bet we start seeing Tibbs name some and JSW could also breakout. Dude is a RB in a WR's body and is so crazy fast, if he just figures this shite out, he'll be a beast.

I'll be honest, I wanted to see what Mason would do for 2 full years. He's NOT Joe Cox. Not even close. He has 10x the arm and accuracy Cox had. I think he has a better arm than Murray even. With this group of receivers, I just wanted to see what a real passing QB could do. Murray might throw for 3500 and we all know we won't have to worry about our running game. I just think Mason could do more with this receiving corps than Murray will. I won't be surprised if in 2014 Mason puts up 4500 yards passing and gets drafted mid rounds and goes on to be an incredible pro QB.

2013 may not be our year because our defense may lose us a couple early games. Our offense will put up records, that is a given. But 2014 is when I believe we see it all come together. The entire team, aside from Murray, Lynch, and maybe Garrison Smith, will be returning for 2014. That's going to be incredible.
