Will they plug in Love or Fluker or both and how effective they will be. Do we have anyone else besides Hightower that can step in and run the def as effeciently as RM did and as mad as this will make the some of my fellow Bama fans, can McCarron actually challenge McElroy for the starting spot. Is he good enough that game managing wont simply do any more. I dont think it will our defense will be good but not good enough to just rely on our qb not to make mistakes to win the game.

Florida:
Offense
1. How will John Brantley look in what is expected to be a tweaked offense. (Mike Pouncey and Brantley have been reportedly practicing under-center snaps in the off season).
2. What will the running game look like without Tim Tebow.
3. Will Andre Debose and Chris Rainey be healthy enough to participate in the spring? If so, will they be able to reviatlize the Percy/Slot/HB position?
4. Who will step up at WR? Deonte Thompson and Carl Moore are really the only proven WR on the roster right now.
Defense
1. What will the new DC do in his first year? There have been tons of rumors that UF could be switching to more of a 3-4/3-3-5 look.
2. Who will be playing DE in whatever formation the UF defense sends out onto the field? UF seems to be lacking quality pass rushers for 2010. Trattou has been solid, but has played mostly DT in 3 down linemen situations, Green has not produced a lot, and Lemmens has been a career back up. Jaye Howard could move back to DE from DT where he played most of 2009, but that didn't work out too well for him against Alabama when Dunlap was out.
3. Who replaces Brandon Spikes? Jonathan Bostic is young, but very talented, Branden Beal was the heir apparent, but has suffered numerous injuries in his career and is a bit of an unknown at this point, and SR lorenzo Edwards has underacheived his entire career.
4. Who replaces Joe Haden at Corner? Janoris Jenkins has one spot locked down, but it looks like Haden's spot is completely up for grabs. rsSO Adrian Bushell seems to have the upper hand for now, but watch out for Jeremy Brown, Joshua Shaw, and Moses Jenkins.

I think the questions for LSU on DL, OL, QB, RB, and LB are obvious and we won't be able to answer them honestly till real games are played
Only the coaches and players are really going to know if they are working hard enough and improving all off-season
But I'm a bit of a hypocrite... I'll read all I can find on the team till the season starts anyway

Neither.... it'll be Alfred McCullough I bet.

You really want to replace a QB who has never lost a game in HS or College, was MVP of the SECCG and won the NC? Is this a joke? If it isn't, you're an idiot.

One thing I will say, Grandy did a whole lot better than I expected. He pulled off some good runs against us lasy year.

Offense: RT, QB, and RB are the big questions.
Defense: Secondary and depth...who will step up as the #2 spots across the board?
Special Teams: Coverage...kick off and punt.

I've got low expectations for the year so I'm hoping to see our team improve and see some guys step up, especially at QB and OL.
