But I can say that our offense will be better due to returning starters at key positions and a healthy offensive line


Auburn has that too.

Nope. We have more talent on the OL than people think, along with two great offensive line coaches (Bielema and Pittman) and a semi-proven running back

It won't break any records but it won't be terrible

That has inherited a mess, just like Gus Malzahn.


Can't disagree there

What kind of quarterback is he? Dual threat?

Nothing special.

Worst defense in the SEC


I don't have the stats in front of me, but the only reason Auburn last season could remotely be ahead of UT defensively is because teams like Bama, A&M and UGA were calling off the dogs on AU by the first series of the third quarter. Bama kicked UT's arse too, but they were at least competitive for a while and made Bama play their starters until half way through the 4th quarter. Bama could have scored 70+ against au had they kept the starters in.

You realize Beilima made a name for himself as a Defensive Coordinator, not OL coach right?

Georgia also had one of the worst rush defenses last year in the country. A big part of that blame has to fall on the DL

Yeah he's really good. I just don't like the 4-2-5 defense, although it worked at SC

Pretty good too, especially at St

Yes

But everywhere he's been he's had good offensive lines, so I would think he knows something about them

All this shite up here...did not read. Can I assume they are excuses?

Not exactly a proven commodity. Not sure I'd use him as a reason why yall will beat Auburn.

But it's good to have an established starter as soon as possible

You're right, but I'd argue that Tennessee playing Bama in the middle of October versus all three of the games you listed (which Auburn played on the later stage of its SEC schedule) isn't quite the same. I think Tennessee still had fight in them. That atrocious Auburn team did not have anything resembling character the last two months of last season.
