Our QB situation is fine. We have a gatorade player of the year, and 2 4* elite eleven QBs on the roster. One juts needs to nab that starting spot.
So what you're saying is they're all good HS players who haven't done crap at the college level? Heck, some have been awful so far at the college level.

They just need to mesh.
Hard to do quickly.

RB is also fine, we have Jalen Hurd (5*) and Treyvon Paulk (4*).
Great more unproven players.
quote:
we have AJ Johnson (all-sec) as well as Curt Maggit (All SEC Freshman, medical redshirt last year)
So Maggit wasn't a starter last year? Right so as I said that's 2/3 of the LB gone.
quote:
as well as some talent coming in.
You might as well have just written this.
quote:
Not to mention, we will have one of the best WR corps in the SEC this year,
You guys didn't have a WR get 500 yards receiving last year. They're talented but completely unproven.
quote:
a very solid group of DBs.

One of them beat USCe, the other one broke his leg and couldnt play, and the other one got thrown into the worst stretch of our season (@Bama, @Mizzou, Auburn) as a true freshman.

Marlin Lane got over 500 yds as a backup and avg 5.3/rush. Not great, but not unproven. The other 2 are true freshmen, true, but very hyped up, especially Hurd.

Maggit wouldve started, he's the best LB on our team. I know that's irrrelvant to your point, but the dude is a stud. He will contribute in a big, big way, especially teamed up with AJ. We have plent of other LBs on the roster, we have nothin to worry about there.

True, but Marquez North, Pig (if he returns), Von Pearson (#1 JUCO WR), and Josh Malone (#1 TN WR, #5 in nation) will be the most raw talent out of any WR corps in the SEC this year.
As for the DBs, i said solid, not great. Cam Sutton and BRian Randolph will be the anchors.

Worley had a couple of pretty good games strung together before his injury last year. All of the QBs were in their first year in the system...so, the two QBs who saw significant time last year should be better prepared to perform on Saturday.

Along with the two Freshmen RB's listed, Lane also returns. While he wasn't the leading rusher, he did average over 5 yards per carry. Time will tell how the change in OL will impact the running game.

Maggitt didn't play last year, but was practicing with the team. He actually had more starting experience than the LBs we lost to graduation. He stared 2 seasons for UT, and has 86 total tackles. This will make up for losing Sapp to graduation. The question will be whether Maggitt's knee is 100%.

Receivers will definitely be better if Howard comes back. Regardless, UT did not lose a single receiver to graduation and are adding receivers who are bigger and faster than the ones they had last year. Most signs would indicate that the passing game should be improved from last year, but it hinges a lot on Howard.
