Every Ole Miss fan I know makes the assumption that Laquon and Tunsil are going to continue on pace like their injuries never happened. Even if you ignore the real possibility that one or both continues to struggle with subsequent injuries, a WR making a 100% come back from a lower leg break and ankle dislocation, in less than a year, seems improbable.
Too many issues on the OL. Too many question marks overall, I don't think it's as simple as whether or not Chad pans out. Golson and Pruitt will be hard to replace, maybe they weren't 1st rounders, but both really contributed so much to that defense. There are players who can step up and start to fill those shoes but even then, the complete lack of LB's is going to be tough to overcome in a run first league.
IMO a 9 win season would be a huge deal. And honestly, only dropping 4 out of @Bama, Ark, @ State, LSU, @Aub, TAMU, and @UF is a pretty reasonable goal to shoot for. Having State, Auburn, and Bama on the road really doesn't help you guys at all. Auburn is the West favorite, home team almost always wins the Egg Bowl, and taking 2 in a row from Saban is probably possible but I don't have evidence of it ever happening.

We don't play Tennessee this year.

We'll have no problem replacing them...and it's Prewitt for the fricking 2847230498 time. I don't see why tRant talks so much about the difficulty to replace him, while not being able to spell his last name.

We did fine in 2012-2014. It's funny because we were done two years ago without Denzel and then Bryant steps in. We were done last year when Denzel went down and Keith Lewis steps in. If Mike Marry and DT Shack can have major roles in that spot and our defense be one of the nations best, you're kidding yourself if you think CJ/Denzel/Gates/Russell is going to hinder our season.

I love this song and dance. It plays every offseason. What are these numerous question marks? Who is going to play center? Who is going to be left off the 2-deep at WR? How long will Freeze make it look like a QB competition when Kelly won the job weeks ago?
