This is my prediction for the starting o-line for next season.

Lt- Blair
Lg- Jackson
C- Crowder
Rg- Robertson
Rt- Richmond

I think Kerbyson will be a super sub next season.

I don't understand why people think a coach who's been doing this longer than some have been alive will have difficulty calling plays faster.

If you've always called plays in a huddle offense as an OC, then moving to calling plays uptempo, no huddle takes a good deal of getting used to. I'm not saying DeBord can't do it, I'm saying he'll need to really work on it to be ready this fall. Uptempo OCs literally call the next play very soon after the previous play is blown dead.

Don't let him call plays until he can win a national championship as Tulane on NCAA 2014 on Heisman Difficulty, IMO.

Here are my 2015 predictions. I figured I'd just post them in here since I'm not really sure what's going on over on the FF board. It's a little schizoid over there.

The SEC is going to beat the snot out of itself next year even more than usual. I don't see any team separating itself for the exception of Alabama. But even they may lose two or three games. Here's how I see it going down:

Alabama will have to win a lot of close games next year to win the West. LSU and A&M are going to be tough. It's hard to pick against Alabama though with the returning talent they have. But it's certainly not going to be as easy as previous years. I can't rule out Auburn either. A very unpredictable year for this division. Perhaps the easiest prediction is that MSU falls off significantly from their 2014 campaign. But if I am picking a champion, I've still got to go with the most talented team. Pick: Alabama

Missouri has been a real surprise the past few years over performing. UGA has been by far the most disappointing, under performing and suffering catastrophic losses to the likes of South Carolina and a very mediocre Florida. Missouri has to replace 5 key starters in the trenches, however. Tennessee is clearly on the rise. If I have to pick between these three, I'm going with Georgia, as again, they'll have the most talent on the field. However, the winner of the UT vs UGA game probably wins this division. Pick: UGA

If you look at the SEC as a whole, any one of six teams could realistically win the SEC Championship next year but fail to make the CFP. Perhaps Alabama has the best chance of sporting a good enough record to get into the playoff. But it may be that no team escapes the slaughter and misses a top four ranking by bowl season. The outcomes of several close match-ups will change the outcome of the entire conference. Going to be interesting, nonetheless.

Alabama 12-2 SEC Champion
Auburn 10-3
LSU 9-4
Texas A&M 9-4
Ole Miss 8-5
Arkansas 7-5
MSU 6-7

Georgia 11-3 SEC East Champion
Tennessee 9-4
Missouri 8-5
Florida 8-5
South Carolina 7-6
Vanderbilt 5-7
Kentucky 4-8

If either of the east bottom feeders make a bowl it will be kentucky not vandy. They have a real life coach not some guy who looks schizophrenic with his decisions and play calls. Also i think florida limps to about 5 wins. That team has a lot of issues and attitude and i think the talent will be nullified by the coaches inability to control it. I just feel like thats a team that needs a strong leader and jim seems like weak sauce so far.

Didnt he have michigan switch over to it in less than a month and then run it flawlessly in a bowl game beat down against florida late in his career?

I understand but this isn't like a foreign language. Butch learned the system from this man. He hasn't forgotten how to read defenses and to know which play to call. These may be the same plays and calls as far as we know. This team already knows uptempo so it's not starting from scratch.

I oddly think Kerbyson might beat out Jackson.

If nothing else, hopefully everyone can get back to their more natural positions.

You may be correct, but I didn't predict their records based on either making a bowl. Vandy's OOC is pretty weak. Their toughest opponent is Houston. And perhaps they lose to Kentucky in conference instead of beating them. Either way, 3, 4 or 5 wins, I don't know if either team will do better to become bowl eligible.

I'm just saying because that is exactly what they did to Jackson. Save him for our CFP runs. Not really a bad option to be made either way though.

Argument could be made either way. We could potentially lose three starters off the '15 line so I would prefer as much game experience as possible coming back for '16.

Western Kentucky will roll Vandy.

Might as well do something to pass the time. My way too early two-deep.

QB: Dobbs(JR), Dormady(FR)/Jones(FR)

TE: Wolf(SO), Ellis(SR)
WR: North(JR), Malone(SO)
WR: Howard(SR), Smith(SO)
WR: Pearson(SR), Croom(JR)
RT: Kerbyson(SR), Jones(FR)
RG: Robertson(SO), Sanders(SO)
C: Crowder(SR), Weisman(SO)
LG: Jackson(SR), Mosely(FR)
LT: Blair(JR), Richmond(FR)

SDE: Barnett(SO), Phillips(FR)
DT: O'Brien(JR), Tuttle(FR)
DT: Williams(SR), McKenzie(FR)
WDE: Maggitt(SR), Weatherd(SR)
LB: Reeves-Maybin(JR), McDowell(SO)

P: Townsend(FR)
PR: Sutton(JR), Berry(SO)
KR: Berry(SO), Foreman(JR)

Redshirts: Jennings, Hall, Butcher, Griffin, Picou, Miller, Stewart, Taylor, Coleman

Obviously different packages call for roles to adjust but I think this is how the basic package looks.

Dormady has a shoulder problem and may miss spring practice. I wouldn't count on him until the doctors figure out how bad his injury is. This just may be the redshirt QB.
