[ktg8trgrl]

Texas:
1. The offense
2. The Defense
3. Special Teams

and some minor questions like who will be the coach

Yeah no sense in sweating the small stuff!

 

[TDs3nOut]

So, are you going to answer our questions or what?

I'm guessing "or what".

 

[lilchi721]

1. How will Sumlin's offense fit around Kenny Hill or Kyle Allen in case Johnny doesn't come back.

2. Offensive line issues (you may lose 3 linemen to the NFL)

3.Defense

 

[WABLTY]

1. Defensive line

Damn, I thought maybe he was clairvoyant.

 

[WizardHawk]

1. Petersen making the jump from mid-major to a Pac12 team and can he win at that level
2. OC coming over from the total failsauce of Flordia? Can Pease do any better here?
3. First year starting QB no matter which one gets the job. What kind of learning curve are we going to have?
4. Secondary. Only one starter returning and a lot of young kids having to step up back there.
5. With so many coaches coming over with Petersen can his crew get up to speed and recruit at a Pac12 level in year one?

 

[GreenNickle]

4 new starters on the O-Line
Pass Defense

Wouldnt pease with peterson a couple of years ago?

 

[olympicoscar]

For Texas.

Who will be the coach and who will be the QB?

Other than those 2 minor things, no problems.

 

[7Samurai13]

We've got all 11 starters coming back on offense so it really comes down to:

1. Who is going to replace Dee Ford DE and Nosa Equae DL.
2. Who is going to replace our kickers.
3. Secondary should be better than last year so not overly worried there.
4. We will have some experience at LB which will be huge finally.
5. Can Nick Marshall improve his passing having an actual spring to work in the system.

We have signed the # 1 JUCO WR, # 1 JUCO Center, #1 JUCO Safety so we some have mature and experienced players to fill several holes. Right now I think Auburn will actually have more talent on the field next year with these additions plus the return of several early injuries then we did this year.

The big question is can they handle being the hunted instead of the hunter mentality and keep their focus after this years success. Honestly I think they will be struggle a bit with the above as Alabama did 2010.

Signed or bought?

QB. Our back up now, Cole Stoudt, has been impressive in mop up duty, but I wonder if he can take on the role as the leader of this Offense nest season and handle the pressures that come with being the starter.

And our secondary. They got chewed up this year and gave up numerous huge plays.

Our coaching: HC and DC. Dabo is a fine recruiter and manager, but he can't coach to save his fucking life. Venables ..... well ....... he can go anytime. It wouldn't bother me in the least. With that said, so can Dabo and Morris. I'm not attached to anyone on this fucking staff.

Agreed. Also:

With what's going to be basically an entire new coaching staff on O and D, there is legit concerns on how the roster of players will transition to what schemes Petersen's team plans to run on both sides of the ball. This team was built to Sark's specifications, especially on O, with the type of pro-style he likes to run. Petersen runs a lot of spread looks. While it's nice that this team is loaded with experienced jrs and seniors going into 2014, they spent years developing with Sark and the previous coaching staff. Fingers crossed they can adapt to what's going to be called of them without a drop in performance.

Also Sankey has not officially decided if he's coming back for his senior year yet. If he doesn't, it will make the offense even more green.

Everyone keeps taking shots at Petersen about will he be able to land 4 and 5 star recruits at the PAC level. While he can't be fully judged on what he can do with just 2 months to put together this years class, he will be scrutinized throughout 2014 to see what class he puts together. Sark let too much of the top local talent leave for other schools to keep his California pipeline maxed. Petersen is a PACNW guy, so it will also be closely monitored how well he can keep the wall up in the region to keep the majority of the best talent around here at UW.

 

[xpuctaqpGT]

Georgia Tech:

1. Can we maybe finally get a top 30 recruiting class some day?

2. Will our defense continue to improve?

3. How will Vad Lee do next year....can he throw a little better and read the option a little better?

 

[occupant]

Oklahoma: loses 25 players to graduation (8 "starters"), one to perversion, and are not expected to lose any underclassmen to the NFL.

1. Undersized, young WR corps. Others may say the loss of two starting offensive linemen will be the biggest concerns...but I'm most concerned about these WR's. Average 6' 195 lbs. Only two have seen significant playing time and both are 5' 10" or 5' 11" and under 200 lbs.

2. Quarterback. With 3 coming back, 2 of which have split regular season reps...the uncertainty worries me.

3. Offensive line. Losing two of the interior linemen. We're hopefully about to sign 6" 5" 315 lb. JUCO OT Sebastian Tretola. Muschamp recently tossed him an offer, but I believe he will realize that OU is his best option. He will start immediately.

Today we signed two more JUCO's... 6' 3" 240 lb LB Devante Bond and 6' 5" 235 lb TE Isaac Ijalana.

 

[mutiger]

Mizzou will likely lose 2 of its 4 stud DE's as Kony Ealy will likely declare for NFL Draft. We lose senior Michael Sam- SEC Defensive POY. (Golden and Ray return) Who steps up?

Mizzou is stacked at DT and will see improvement at LB's and DB's as well.

We lose 2 solid big WR's in Washington and Lucas. It will be interesting who steps up with DGB. We have tons of talent to choose from

 

[Mistaken4193]

Its looking like bamas QB next year will either be Alec Morris or Jacob Coker from FSU if he decides to come to bama. So im feeling pretty good about our QB questions

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

Getting out if Columbus safely in Week 2 after an epic upset.

 

[Gator]

What is everybody's teams biggest question mark for 2014?

To be truthful, the only question that is relevant is; Can UF just skip 2014 and just go on to 2015?

 

[awclayton]

1. How will Golson look after a year off
2. Will Tuitt come back for one more year
3. Will jaylon Smith be the leader of the defense after an AA freshman year
