I hope his knee rehab is 12 months further along than it was at this time last year.

O-line is the difference maker here folks, and yes, it will be better.

Once Marlin and other backs get their coaching from Jay Graham, they will improve a lot..It might take a few years before our running game is back to where it was in 90s but until then we can pass it like crazy with our Bray/Hunter/Patterson combo..(I predict DaRick to be out of team before next season starts)

The freshman that is 6-3 220 will have a good year to the one that was committed to lsu and I see rajon Neal also being good

Seriously? For starters, he isn't a true freshman coming immediately off a catastrophic knee injury. He is now a sophomore over a year removed from surgery with major game experience under his belt.

Now am I saying that he is going to blow it up this year because of that? No, not exactly...but I hope he does, and that is certainly a big difference of a year.

Yep, looking forward to seeing an older wiser stronger Lane running behind an older wiser stronger OL, and coached by Jay Graham.

He will impress. Doubters will refuse to eat crow, and continue to complain about something so they feel justified.

I also think bar injury he was better than T.Poole last season..
I hope JG can coach him to run faster and not get run down from behind. If he can improve his speed, he will be outstanding; if he can't, he will be average.
