Looks like away games at Ole Miss and Bama, a home game with Florida, are the toughest games. UGA lost its starting QB and RB. Auburn has got a new Coach and its at home.
I expect to win 2/3 of the UGA, Bama, Ole Miss games. 10-2 regular season. 11th win coming either SECCG or bowl game.
Re: Fla., I am not conceding the game, we may pull an upset if Fla. has a bad day. It's what is so interesting about the college game. But right now, I would not bet on LSU for that one. About Ga., seemed like Moreno's best year was his frosh. I don't know who is on their bench at RB and QB, but just because they lost 2 good ones doesn't mean we will beat them, they could pull out someone better. The top half of the SEC is always tough.
I wouldn't say I expect anything, but my hopes are for at least a 10-2 season. Much of our success will depend on the continuity of the defense. Should their play during the season be back to old we will be alright. I see several "X" factor type plays being developed for RS. I think we are going to see Crowton unleash the hounds this season. So far, it has been a watered down version of the spread. With JJ and RS on the field at the same time defenses will have to prepare for anything. This should be a fun team to watch.
Wow, @Georgia, Florida, Auburn, a bye week, then @Alabama. That will be the season defining stretch. Hopefully our team is running on all cylinders by then because the season will be over if the team doesn't find their identity by then.
I agree; I am somewhat optimistic about the defense this upcoming season, hoping that the new staff will put the talent in the defense into better use. If anything, as Okie alluded to, it can't get any worse than last year. It will also help with the maturation of some of the players. Therefore I would think the game against Florida would be closer than expected. With the offense, how much Crowton can let out the hounds will depend on how well the unit can execute; would expect that he will have more options, but I see that being hinged on the QB plays, and how well the O-line performs, esp. the center which to me is a big "?" I 'd like to see both JJ and Lee on the field; that would take the pressure off both of them, while keeping RS in the mix would make things very interesting!
As long as JJ performs which i fully expect him too we will be fine..Chavis is 8x's better than the two guy's we just got rid of so i expect the defense to hold up...Percy Harvin is gone people need to understand it was harvin who always saved florida not tebow, when u can throw a 5 yrd screen and he takes it 90 thats hard to replace....if we make tebow throw and score some points we win. I am worried more about ole miss heck they just simply whipped our tails last year
