How can a team with a top QB, WR, OL, and TE in the SEC not be ranked higher than a team with nothing in the ACC.
Our past records is one reason. Also, while I am excited about the new defensive scheme, our secondary is going to be a huge question mark. Also, depth at lb isn't great and the dl is still unproven

Also I am excited the offense is getting respect but we haven't put out a fully healthy performance since Cincinatti. I will be much happier at the end of the season when we are in the top 3-5 in all of the offensive categories in the sec.

That ranking is generous considering how bad it was last year.

What was the main problem with the line last year. Too slow? Scheme? Both?

Tyler helped that stat out a bit, tho....that boy's got eyes in the back of his head.

Eh? Not Tyler. He's consistently showed an innate ability to avoid the sack.

So our rankings for offense were
QB - 4
RB - 12
WR - 1
OL - 6

Avg out to 5.75. I will do all of them and let you all know where we stack up.
