Three biggest strengths, three biggest weaknesses of your team

Strength - Oline, receivers/TEs, LBs
Weaknesses - NCAA's bullshite, Dbacks, experienced RB depth

Strengths

O Line
Quarterback
Running back

Weaknesses

D Line depth
Wide receivers
Alabama

Strengths:
1) OL
2) upperclassmen with all conference potential at OL, RB, QB, WR, TE, LB, CB, and S.
3) high quality depth everywhere but QB

Weaknesses:
1) injury history with starters on defense (ILB and DL) and offense (RB, TE, and OL)
2) new question marks with new coordinators
3) potentially tough schedule (never know how good/bad Notre Dame, Auburn, Florida, Missouri, and A&M will be)

Weaknesses - Offensive line - No clue how good they will be. The coaching is good..but certainly a lot of questions going into the season

---

True, no way of knowing how good they'll be...but, with only 1 starter returning to your line, it's cause for pause especially when going up against Miami's good defensive line. It'll be interesting to see how the matchup goes.

On the other side, UF's defense looks to be pretty good against Miami's O.

Ole Miss

Strengths:
1. Running backs, returning Phillips who had an outstanding year last year and Ealy. Plus a couple more serviceable guys
2. WR's, I know it seems odd since we had 5 WR's in rookie camps this year but it's the one position we have kept stock piled pretty well.
3. No more Phil Longo, probably my favorite one

Weakness:
1. Experience, very very young on offense
2. O line, one 2 returning starters just had back surgery
3. WAOM

Strengths

1. Obviously the secondary, having Delpit, Fulton, Vincent, Harris and Stevens back gives us a heck of a group, add in the #1 player in Stingley who has looked dominant from the time he stepped on campus and it should be pretty hard to dent us through the air this year

2. Returning front 7, having Lawrence, Fehoko, Shelvin, Logan, Farrell, Phillips, Divinity and Queen all coming back is a huge boost and adding Chaisson back into the mix will help pass rush so much

3. Offensive skill position improvement, Burrow is back, the WR corps is back, replace Brossette with a pair of ultra talented freshman and a returner in CEH...overall this group should be a good bit better than they were last year with most of them having a year or two under their belts now playing together

Weaknesses
1. Place kicking game, just a big unknown here in a true freshman Cade York, talented yes, but a freshman is a freshman, what happens when the first pressure FG comes into play this season? Going from a sure thing in Cole Tracy to a true unknown here is a big question mark

2. Offensive line was straight up bad overall last season, and most of those guys return, so that could be a good/bad scenario. Cushenberry and Lewis are really good players, Charles and Deculus have a lot to improve on from last season as returning starters at the book end positions. LG seems a little unsettled right now with senior Adrian Magee getting most reps, kind of a journeyman player, they are trying to get sophomore Chasen Hines more reps at center since Cole Smith left so we have a true backup center ready to go, but he is the main competition for Magee at the LG spot

3. Unknown of new offense, again we're implementing a brand new offense for a 3rd straight season, out of shotgun almost exclusively and airing it out a lot more. It will look the least amount like an "LSU offense" than ever before

For Auburn


Strengths

1 - Dline - Should be very solid. Hopefully some of the 2nd string will step up and our depth will be good as well

2 - Secondary - Lots of returning guys here

3 - Wide Receivers - No huge experience here but a big mix of guys who will show out when needed


Weaknesses

1) Brand new Qb - Starting the season with a 2 QB race where neither has taken a meaningful college snap.

2) Oline talent - I want these guys to do better since they are all seniors and have played together but I have learned in the past, O line guys that are bad, stay bad

3) Fan Base - AU fan base is on the cliff already

2. No continuity of coaches. It's be a pretty constant rotation of coordinators and position coaches the last few years and I think it has had a negative impact. Until shown otherwise I'm concerned about yet another new set of coaches meshing with each other and the players quickly.

---

I point out this weakness because Saban has done an amazing job of not letting his constant coaching carousel effect his players and their mind set.

Bama players get recruited by one coach, then could sign under another one, and then could play under a different coach every year they are there. It's crazy to think about the constant turn-over and yet Saban still puts an elite product on the field every year.

Strengths:

Offense: Offensive Line - They're gonna make everyone around them great.

Defense:

DB Speed - I believe our CB's could run step for step with anybody. Eric Stokes has all the tools to be great as he displayed last year when he came in for Tyson Campbell. The knock on Campbell was he don't turn his head. He improved on that towards the end of the season.

Weaknesses:

Offense:
WR: Experience. But they are super talented with speed and Height(Fromm love to put it up high)

Defense:

LB: Not really a weakness IMO but last year we didn't put much pressure on the QB. Now with more experience and competition, those highly rated LB's will show results.
