How will the 2015 offense look?

First: Is anyone else stoked for JJ to take the reigns? I was one of the people who wanted him to start last year, even knowing how explosive Nick was.
That being said, I think our whole offensive dynamic will change, but I think it will be for the better. I think our offense may be a bit slower, but we'll have more 10-15yrd plays, both from the RB position and medium-long range WR gains.
QB: Johnson, obviously... but how much clean up duty do White/Smith get? Does Smith even get in the rotation?
RB: Jovon? Does Barber finally break through and be the beast he could be? Kerryon?
Feel free to add to the list, I want to keep the discussion going.

The real key is our OL. We have a ton of potential but with PMiller leaving, we have some question marks. Where will Avery Young and Austin Golson play? Who plays RT? Who plays C? Will Shon Coleman dramatically improve and last the season?
Talentwise we should take a huge step forward even without Dismukes. We are going to miss his experience and it is possible 4/5 OL are in different positions next year than last.

Yep. I also wonder if we will be playing with wider splits than we did this year. I always found that so weird, and never heard why we were doing it.

If someone steps up at HBack and our OL gels and improves from last year, we should see an offense that is more consistent at moving the ball and doesn't stall out for stretches while not quite as explosive

Why we had wide splits?

No, why they were so much narrower last season. I can't remember who posted it, but there was an analysis on one of our sites by a HS coach that diagramed our OL 2014 vs 2013. 2014 OL was a lot narrower

Revolves around OL and Hback in my opinion. Enough talent, just have to grow in the roles.

Me speculating but the narrow splits probably had more to do with interior OL and having a hard time in pass protection.
Additionally, it opens up the perimeter run game the narrower the splits

That would make sense.

That is sad then
Our perimeter run game was pretty lacking this year

Kozan's health is also a big question up front... he's a potential all-sec guard... if we could get him back next year, it'd be huge.
i agree with what others have said... the OL is the key in 2015... from a skill-position standpoint, this will be as deep and talented of an auburn team in recent memory (maybe go back to 2004 or 05?)... but there a questions up front that need to be answered for this group to reach full potential.

Mop up duty is determined by how many blow outs we have so Hopefully a lot but there's no way to know.
Smith will be a WR by the season.

Jovon and Roc get a majority of the carries. Whichever is doing better by midsession becomes the workhorse.

Golson will be the center.
If Kozan is back to his normal self, Young at RT.
If Kozan isn't back, Young might be the LG with Braden at RT.

I also don't think the transition from Marshall to JJ will be as easy as y'all make it out to be. JJ will most likely have some struggles.
As for the overall offense, we will transition back to more of our 2010 offense.

See I think it will look more like 2009 with Todd....Johnson slinging the ball around off PA from JR and Roc running powers and counters

I think JJ is the best QB we've had on the team since Campbell. Hate on it.
But, really, I think he is. Nick was a beast of an athlete, but JJ is all QB.

That would mean
1) that you think JJ is better than Cam
2) Campbell is better than Cam
Please tell me you don't think either of those are true

We'll have more designed QB runs/Options than we did that year. But we'll also pass more than we did in 2010.

Correct, I don't think either of those are true. I dismissed him in my mind because of his freak-like nature. I didn't consider including football gods to the list.

I wouldn't own up to that
