We have pretty big question marks on the DL and in LB, even with Davis, Brantley, Cox, and CeCe coming back.



What freaking media guide are you looking at? Do you KNOW our roster? We can rotate 8-9 guys on the DL and keep them fresh...same DL basically last year except I think we will be better pass rushing. LB? Again as just stated, we dont use 3 LBs often...only in high percentage run plays like 3rd and 1 or 3rd and 2. We good....a freaking possible first rounder to boot? Secondary that is stout. We can reach into the bag if injuries happen...all teams go through that. Kicking & punting? Are you kidding me??

We have talent that is improved from last year's offense even when Grier played...why? We arent going to finish 13th in the SEC in rushing..McElwain did a helluva job with bailing wire and duct tape last year. You just dont win the east or west with that poor of a rushing total.
2016 will see the emergence of # 24 Mark Thompson and we will all wish he had more than 2 yrs to play. 6'2 242 and watch the spring game film and see him not wanting to go down at all and ditto for the Jordans.

QB play doesnt have to be spectacular to enable us to win a lot of games...just steady and accurate. Special teams is good and coaching is superb imho. We are in year two of Coach McElwain's tenure already you can sense the difference. He has a QB with improved OL play, run game, and has knowledge of the scheme...just throw quick to open receivers and we use TEs and RBs a lot in this system. Move the chains and kick FGs if need be. 11-1 is what I see.

2 LBs may not cut it vs. Georgia, FSU, Tennessee, or LSU IMO. Those 4 teams are very strong at OL and they all (with the exception of UGA) ran it pretty effectively on UF last year.

I leave out the Michigan game because the team checked out of the season prior to that, and the Bama game because the defense played inspired football for about 3 Qs and just wore out because of our offensive ineptitude.

Again, I don't doubt our talent on defense. I do question our depth and if guys can stay healthy.
