Two Things for thought

1. We will end the season in rarefied air. By my count we are among 21 schools that can finish the season with at least 11 wins- not too shabby!!

2. Just for kicks can one of you guys kind of project our starting 24 (including punter and kicker) players for next season. Of course this is based on what we have coming back. I suspect that the list won't look too bad. Of course Oline is a concern. I wonder what the possibility is of landing a decent JUCO transfer for the line.

Just want to echo what many have said. Incredible win last Saturday and awesome season. Not too often a team actually lives up to preseason expectations. As for the TL haters. You have got to be kidding.

I'll take a stab:

QB Lamb
RB Cox
WR Meadors
WR Capel
WR Barbour
TE Burns
LT Johnson
LG Malone?
C Collins
RG Gossett
RT Nunn

DE Norwood
NT Fernandez
DE Dada/Favoroso/Sims/Papenheim

OLB Gilchrist
ILB Boggs
ILB Law
OLB Stringer
CB Gibbs
S Gray
S Howard
CB Pinckney/Williams

P Critcher
K Rubino

Yup probably pretty close... WR Zy Letman will be one probably Ike Lewis in slot and Capel... w/ backups Barbour, M. Adams, M. Armstrong, D. Jones, and D. Hopkins. There will definitely be a battle for the slot position.

Pepenheim listed at 6'6" and 225 but that has to be what he came in as a Freshman. With our S&C program surely he can get to 255 or so. If he has speed and strength he could be a force. Isn't Bronson graduating?

Yeah, I think that's right. Not sure what I was thinking. I had taken him off.

We will also be very deep at NT. Fernandez, Small, Stout, Barrett. The DE competition(s) will be fun to watch.

Dear Sun Belt,

Try to run the ball, we dare you.

Lot of experience coming back. Should be building some depth also. Looking good!

Stout in the middle, speed everywhere else. Easily the best defense returning in the SB.

I do think the staff will give Edge-Campbell every chance to win the starting center job since it would keep Collins at LG. The fact that the backup to Chapman was Collins was worrying since it threw the OL out of balance.

I'm excited to see Capel back next year. He showed some explosiveness before getting injured vs Clemson.

Are we drunk off autoMatics and going to have a hangover at kicker?

EastHallApp · Unread post by **EastHallApp** » Tue Dec 22, 2015 10:39 am

At this point, I'm wondering if one option - perhaps even the most likely one - is to leave Gossett at RT and move Nunn over to LT. If TEC or someone else wins the C job, great (ideal, actually). If not, move Collins there.

Downside is that you have five guys in new positions from the start of this year. Upside is that theoretically it should be easier to replace two guards than LT and C, especially with Collmar already established as at least a credible option at one spot.

I do like Vic Johnson's potential, though - just not sure if he'll be ready to start.\

ETA: Looks like MackAttack beat me to this idea...

Watching Boggs play and how he seems to get to the ball a lot, he reminds me of the best LB in the NFL, LLLLLLLLLLUUUUUKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEE !!!!

Would love to hear anything about Alex Taylor. He would be a game changer of us. I know he came in as a OT but what if we could use him as a DE.

I don't think we have the depth to move anybody from OL at this point.

Add long snapper Elias McMurray to the list. One of the best in the country and we have him for 3 more years. EVERY snap this year on a punt, fg, or pat was perfect. Important and often overlooked position and he does an awesome job.

Add Morgan Wilson to the DE possibility, if he is healthy. Was a supposed under the radar steal for us as a walk on I believe. Moose could speak to that more than me

I think the right side of the OL stays the same with Victor Johnson getting the first crack at LT. If Collins moves to Center, I see Collmar and TEC battling that out
