re: Which SEC teams will be Better, Worse, Same this year?

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.

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.

Great more unproven players.

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.

So Maggit wasn't a starter last year? Right so as I said that's 2/3 of the LB gone.

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%.

You guys didn't have a WR get 500 yards receiving last year. They're talented but completely unproven.

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.
