Just monster.

UF's may be pretty impressive soon too. Would love to see that much depth. Next years possible depth chart.
Matt Jones - 4 star RB - 2012 class(junior)
Kelvin Taylor - 5 star RB - 2013 class(soph)
Adam lane - 4 star RB - 2013 class(soph though hope we redshirt)
Mack brown - 4 star RB - 2010 class(rshirt senior)
Dalvin Cook - 5 star RB - 2014 class(fresh)



Man that back field will be young and DEEP. Muschamp, trying to mold Florida into Saban's Bama. One step at a time.

QB: Brandon Allen takes over at QB this year. Petrino called him one of the best freshman QBs he's ever coached during his redshirt year in 2011. Looked bad last year but looks to be improved this year. 4* freshman Austin Allen will be the likely backup IMO, with dual threat QBs AJ Derby and freshman Damon Mitchell rounding it out.

RB: 4* Jonathan Williams will start the season as the #1. Showed flashes as a freshman last year but only got 45 carries. On the doak walker award watch list. 5* Alex Collins will push him for playing time and has looked explosive in practice. Kody Walker at 6'0, 240 will be our short yardage back and Nate Holmes is a speedster that we will use on sweeps and PR...i like this group as there is a different type of back for every situation

FB: Kiero Small is a beast of a run blocker. Also on the doak walker award watch list, he will be key in our run game and we missed him last year. Very physical player.

WR/TE: Seniors Javontee Herndon, Julian Horton and Demetrius Wilson will start the season as our go to WRs. Herndon was a speedy deep threat last year while horton is a possession WR with solid hands. Wilson came in as a juco last year and has good speed. Sophomores Keon Hatcher and D'Arthur Cowan have potential and will be looked at a lot too. Freshman Drew Morgan has turned heads in practice and could get PT this year. TE Austin Tate returns and is a big target and a decent blocker. Highly touted freshman Hunter Henry will see the field a lot and is a beast of a receiver. We will use a lot of TEs on the field at once.

QB - Aaron Murray is the starter, obviously. He should break all the meaningful SEC career passing records this season. Hutson Mason will be the backup and will start next year. He would start for several SEC teams and is capable of getting the job done. The other QBs are Christian Lemay, Brice Ramsey, Faton Bauta, and Parker Welch.

RB - Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall. Gurley needs no introduction; he's a monster. Marshall is fast as shite will play with more weight this year, and that should help him. He was no slouch last year either. The third RB will be either A.J. Turman, J.J. Green, or Brendan Douglas.

FB - Quayvon Hicks is going to destroy people. He's a beast. He had numerous BCS scholarship offers as a DE coming out of HS. He now has a year in the system and should be good to go. He will be backed up by Merritt Hall, last year's starter.

WR - Malcolm Mitchell will be the most dangerous target. Michael Bennett is very reliable and was emerging as Murray's go-to guy before his injury last year. Chris Conley has the best hands on the team. Jonathan Rumph is a JUCO transfer who has all the tools if he can get the playbook down. He's 6'5", so he should be useful in the redzone at least. Rantavious Wooten is a smaller, quicker receiver who is very effective when healthy. He got in a car wreck last year that has caused some lingering concussion issues that UGA is being very careful with. Blake Tibbs and freshman Tramel Terry, depending on his injury recovery, could also contribute.

TE - Arthur Lynch and Jay Rome. Lynch is preseason 1st team All-SEC. Great blocker, solid receiver. I actually think Rome is a better receiver. He's a great athlete and uses his basketball background to position himself well. He was the top TE in the nation in HS and played for the UGA hoops team as a freshman. He needs to improve some as a blocker.

State

QB

Tyler Russell (Senior) - Threw for 2,900 yards and 24 TD passes. Looked a little shaky the last two games.

Dak Prescott (Sophomore) - The future. Big and can run, prototypical QB for Mullen's read option offense. Threw for 500 yards and 4 TD's last year. Rushed for 130 yards and 4 TD's. Scored 8 times in a limited role. Should see playing time increase this year to prep taking over the reigns next year.

I would feel comfortable if something happened to Russell, I feel like Prescott is ready.

RB

Very deep position for State

Ladarius Perkins - (Senior) Rushed for 1,100 yards and 8 TD's last year. More of a scat back, also has good hands out of the backfield.

Josh Robinson - 5'9" 225 lb Sophomore Downhill runner, Rushed for 350 yards and a TD last year.

Nick Griffin - 6' 225 lb Junior. Was our best runner until getting hurt last year. Averaged 7 yds a carry. Rushed for 235 yards and a TD last year.

Derrick Milton - 6' 210 lb Sophomore. Had a fumble in the LSU game, didn't really see the field much after that. Rushed for 200 yds and a TD.

Ashton Shumpert - 6'2 215 lb Freshman. Been a monster in Fall Camp, not sure if he redshirts but is a major talent who will factor into the lineup if he doesn't take a redshirt year.

Someone else take it from here.

I'll go

Ole Miss

QB:
Really it's Bro Wallace and everybody else right now. If brunetti has to play meaningful minutes at QB it will be a long long year. Devante Kincade is the QB of the future but as a true fresh I doubt he's ready b

RB:
Jeff Scott will start the season and that's all that's really known about our RB situation. I expected all summer for I'tavious Mathers and Mark Dodson to begin usurping Scott but since fall camp has started I've heard so many great things about Kailo Moore and Jordan Wilkins. One of our insiders going as far as comparing them to Cadillac Williams and Deuce McCallister.

TE:
We fricked. Our 4* freshman is out for the season (I think) and our starter Even Ingram is very undersized. We won't be using a TE much this year IMO.

WR:
Stacked. MONCRIEF returns of course and will probably break 1 or 2 rebel receiving records this season. J. Logan is solid and true freshmen Quincy attayboyyo and Laquon Treadwell have shown out all camp. We did lose Vince sanders to a broken collar bone for a few weeks but he will be back by A&M I believe.

LSU

QB - Zach Mettenberger will start and look to improve under new offensive coordinator, Cam Cameron. Stephen Rivers is the likely backup, but could be challenged by true freshman Anthony Jennings for the starting job next year. Jennings could possibly be called upon this year to run a read-option type package in certain situations.

RB - LSU's running back corps may lack some of the depth that it's had in years past, considering that Jeremy Hill was suspended from late April to early August and may need to work himself back in shape. He may still face further suspension from Coach Miles (a 1 to 3 game suspension seems to be what is being floated around). Senior Alfred Blue returns after missing most of last season with a knee injury. Kenny Hilliard has apparently lost a significant amount of weight and will look to improve on his 2012 season. Junior Terrence Magee, a small but powerful runner, will likely see significant playing time also. Freshman Jeryl Brazil, who was recruited as a defensive back, has also been getting some work in at running back.

FB - Senior J.C. Copeland will be the primary lead blocker out of the I-formation. Connor Neighbors should also see some time at fullback as a more athletic, pass-catching type back. Freshman Melvin Jones has apparently been moved from linebacker to fullback and will likely be Copeland's replacement next year.

TE - LSU's tight ends have been used primarily as blockers for the past couple seasons, but may be used more in the offense under Cameron. Travis Dickson is the only returning tight end to have made a reception last year and is the likely starter. Junior college transfer Logan Stokes and true freshman DeSean Smith are both big, athletic guys who could also work their way into significant playing time.

WR - Speedy receivers Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry are two proven weapons returning from last year. Junior college transfer Quantavius Leslie and redshirt freshman Travin Dural, who missed last season due to a knee injury suffered in fall camp, look to give LSU two receivers with size and speed, which was lacking last year. Kadron Boone and James Wright may see a reduced role this year as freshmen John Diarse and Avery Peterson will push them for playing time.

Alabama Crimson Tide's Alvin Kamara has knee scoped

Alabama freshman tailback Alvin Kamara had his knee scoped recently and is questionable for the Crimson Tide's opener Aug. 31 against Virginia Tech in Atlanta.

Kamara, a 5-foot-10, 195-pounder from the Atlanta suburb of Norcross, was one of four tailbacks ranked among the top 100 prospects nationally who signed with Alabama in February. Saban said the setback was similar to what former Tide tailback Mark Ingram endured at the start of the 2010 season.

"He was doing extremely well and is going to be a really good player," Saban said. "This is not something that would supersede us from continuing to try and use him this year."

Dang, Mizzou does sound like its got some serious WRs. not troling here but it really is a shame they don't have the rest of the puzzle pieces to show their full potential.


Mizzou really is deep at WR. Problem is, we don't have a QB that can get them the ball. Of course, last years line injuries didn't help, so we'll see how things shape if healthy.

bama's five WRs from '12 avg 10 recepts per game. That's really not that great. Total of 140 receptions in 14 game schedule. Like most have said, besides cooper the bama WR corps isn't that special.

white 8 catches 5 games
bell 17 catches 12 games
norwood 29 catches 14 games
jones 27 catches 14 games
cooper 59 catches 14 games

you cant always go off of stats to determine whether certain position players are good or not. especially if they dont play in the type of offense that will showcase them. NFL scouts have proven that time and time again. they drooled over Cooper from Bama last season. And they drool over the freshman they had last year who got hurt. He was suppose to start over Cooper.
