And they recruit very well


Sure,not much of a choice with the losses they sustained.

think will be weaker, although they return Truesdell, Bryant and Miller


I don't recall Miller being much of a factor at all last year.Did he start any games?

dropoff? Yes. A STEEP dropoff? no.
Maybe not "steep" but close to it.They lost the best DL in the history of the program and 3 year starter plus a very underrated Marlin Davidson.Brown was the most dominant defensive player in the SEC last year.He was the sole reason their game with LSU was even close last year... unbelievable performance.


quote:

They have really, really good LBs returning


It is very good unit and one of the top 3 in the conference.

I do not believe it will be a cake walk.

Rarely a cakewalk but I'm more confident than I was last year.

Not having Cade Mays will hurt them, but they have two 5* OTs that will be sophomores.


It should be a strength but you need talented upper classmen for the most part to be a factor in the SEC and I have no worries about our DL vs their OL...we'll see.

Probably didn't start any. (I'm not sure, really) but played a decent amount of time and was a highly rated recruit. So, he has the potential, and Auburn typically does a good job developing their DLinemen.

There is not doubt they lost a great DLine. It'll be interesting to see what they do and how they react to those losses. i really believe they have solid to really good talent there still, though. BUT, that is just a feeling, although a feeling based upon recruiting and past performance of their developing along the DLine.

Agreed 100%. But....were they good because they were really that good, or were they good because their past DLine was able to keep oppossing OLines off of them so they could roam free and make plays? I think they are just good. We'll know more soon.

I'm not sure, but I am always wary of Auburn. I always expect them to be a close, hard fought game. It's strange, though, that is seems even when they have a superior team we find a way to come out on top. Reminds me of how our Florida games were a few years ago.

On board with you here. I really like what we have done with our DLine. I do think we win, and possibly by 14 or more, but I just felt cake walk was a bit extreme.
