Clemson: Returns every starter except for 1 OL, 1 LB, and 1 DB. (Wow!)
Alabama: Returns their starting QB, 3 OL, TE, but only 1 starter on defense. They lose both their starting punter and placekicker.
Auburn: Returns their starting QB, RB, all WR, 1 OL, half their defense, and punter
LSU: Returns 1 WR, 4 OL, 5 defensive starters, punter and PK
South Carolina: Returns their starting QB, RB, all WR/TE, 3/5 OL, 5 defensive starters, punter and PK
Mississippi State: Returns 9/11 Offensive and 8/11 defensive starters plus placekicker
Ole Miss: returns 7/11 offensive and 6/11 defensive starters. Loses both starting punter and placekicker
Arkansas: Returns all but QB on offense, returns 6/11 defensive starters, punter and PK.
Kentucky: Returns all but 4 starters on offense (QB, 1 OL, 2 WR) and 2 starters on defense (Nickel, MLB). Loses both P and PK.
Now let's contrast that with A&M.
QB - returns everyone
RB - loses Ford
WR - loses Kirk and Ratley
TE -
OL - returns every single scholarship player except for Daimler, who didn't play much anyway
DL - loses Henderson and Jarrett Johnson
LB - returns every single scholarship player
DB - loses Watts and Willis
P - loses Tripucka
K - LaCamera will be a senior

Are you manufacturing our excuse for next year or just being a fricking downer? Couldn't tell from your post

Neither, I'm just stating what Coach Fisher is up against in 2018.

Here's a two sentence summary: we are going to have problems scoring since we no longer run a gimmick offense and lack talen/depth at skill positions. Our defense should be salty with the right coordinator.

So what about the fact that we return every single scholarship offensive lineman except for 1 (Daimler)?

That's the most important aspect and will be the factor that keeps us competitive. But we still don't have all the pieces at tailback and have no fullback on the roster if I'm correct. We lack tight ends for a genuine blocking scheme, although I thought our two younger guys did pretty well this year. Our receivers are talented but many lack physicality to block and be an every-down contributor. Plus we will not have a clue whether we have a quarterback on the roster who can run jimbo's playbook until probably fall. But you are correct in the OL, and just as it did in 2012 a strong OL can mitigate all of the above factors and make us better as a whole than we are individually. Jimbo's got plenty to work with but in all seriousness recruiting needs to be a huge priority this December.

We struggled to score this year. Doubt it can get much worse

Here's where I disagree with you somewhat.
Jacob Kibodi was HORRIBLY underutilized this year. In the one game he really played in, he ran for over 100 yards on 5 carries. He's actually bigger than Keith Ford, so having him and Trayveon Williams alternate carries provides a solid 1-2 punch. Bussey is more than capable as well.
As far as Tight End...which "younger guys" are you referring to? Keynel McZeal is a prototypical pass-catching tight end (similar to Jimmy Graham in size) and he was redshirted. Camron Horry is similar in body type to the tight end from Mississippi State and he also redshirted. Aaron Hansford for some reason was moved from TE to WR. He needs to move back. If you're referring to Schorp and/or Cline, they were both seniors.
In terms of a fullback, I would immediately look at the following three players at the position:
Cullen Gillaspea 6'2 230
Justin Dunning 6'4 240
Riley Garner 6'3 225

Did you forget about the NFL draft?
Edit: I guess you just made assumptions.

Damn...Clemson may 3-peat.

They have built an absolute monster

Full back?

Oh shite. I didn't think of that. Daylon Mack at FB.

I loved his HS films when he played RB.

I’m know I’m not getting in front of the Mack Truck with a head of steam on a goal line stand.
Posted on 12/4/17 at 8:56 pm to Farmer1906
That is a fantastic idea.

It's a little misleading as Clemson has 5-6 starters expected to leave early

Thank God. Was thinking that was off
