Dormandy would be Worley 2.0. The no read option offense would be back

Yeah I think the defense will be loaded next year, which probably sounds crazy since we are losing the big 3 after this year. We have a ton of young depth at DL and on the back end too. I'm really not concerned about the defense with Shoop in charge.
Honestly, my biggest worry for next year is QB and RB. We have some potentially nice pieces in CFA, Kelly and the incoming Ty Chandler but damn they will have huge shoes to fill.

RB and QB are my 2 biggest question marks too. It's going to be tough to replace the 3 headed monster. I'd kill to have a consistent passing game again though..

Yeah, I actually think he'll work better in this offense than Hurd

Knowns:
1. OL - return 3/5 starters, but plenty of other guys who have started games. Chance Hall and Jack Jones are true Sophs right now and have a chance to be really, really good. This unit should be strong next year.
2. WR - We will return everyone off a unit that looks to be pretty good this year. They should be deep and talented.
3. TE - We will return our starter and have 2 talented freshmen on campus right now. Not a ultra-talented unit, but solid.
4. DL - Should be the strongest unit on the team by far. We lose 3 DEs who play and are good, but we are loaded with talent behind them. We will have 3 DTs who will be really, really good next year.
5. Secondary - We lose Sutton and return everyone else. Sutton is a big loss, but we have depth at CB and talented safeties. We know what we have there.
Unknowns:
1. QB - We have a pocket Dormady who will be a true Jr, or Rs. Fresh Jarret Guarantano will be the guy. A TON of hype around JG because he can run and has a great arm, but Butch will likely go with the experience in Dormady until he proves he can't do it.
2. 4. RB - John Kelly is going to be a really good RB and is the prototypical feature back, but we haven't seen a ton of him yet. Depth behind him is a slight concern but we will bring in a very talented recruit in Ty Chandler.
3. OLB - We lose JRM. We have 2 talented guys behind him in Cortez McDowell and Quarte Sapp, but we don't know what they can do. Darren Kirkland Jr at MLB should be one of the best in the SEC.
Overall we will be deeper across the board and we have talented guys replacing the guys we lose this year. It really will all depend on the QB situation. We will go as that position goes.
The defense should be strong.

1. They will be the youngest team in the nation.
2. They will have one of the best recruiting classes in the nation.
3. They will be ranked in the top 10.
4. If you question them, they will tell you how well they've recruited and that you don't know anything about football if you're not in the Big 6.
5. They will be an ugly shade of orange.
If all of the above is correct, they will underachieve again due to the fact that character and discipline are not something Butch Jones nor the hierarchy value at all. So, they will be about 6-4 when you play and that in a weak division.
