SEC East Predictions

[GAMECOCK]

First year, as in first year starting? I'm sure there have been plenty. Tee Martin rings a bell.

I guess I should have said young first year starter. Tebow has only been in that system for one year. Tee Martin was there for five....Is that right?

Tee was a junior on our 98 championship team.

He was still relatively inexperienced.

He was still relatively inexperienced.

AND Tebow has more experience now than Tee did in his year prior to starting.

It's hilarious when Gamecock fans say history doesn't matter - of course it doesn't when you know absolutely nothing from before 2001.

No. After watching tape of a Halloween game in '98, I can see where you might have come to that conclusion, though.

Tee just completed 5 more passes in a row, by the way.

I fail to see how UT is so far ahead of Georgia and Florida as far as experience goes. We lose two starters on an offensive line that wasn't very good.

UT barely had an experienced starting five last year. This year they return at least 8 guys with good playing time and talent.

We return an unproven group of running backs.

Coker ran well. Foster ran well two years ago and against PSU except for the fumbles. Hardesty is still fighting injuries and risks being irrelevant if one of the Freshmen are as good as advertised.

We lose by far our three best WRs.

True.

We lose almost our entire starting secondary.

Wade was the only player that will not be replaced by someone at least as good.

We lost two DL starters on a group that wasn't good to begin with.

And return a guy that was a rock before leaving on Mormon missions and a guy that has a load of talent and is improving.

We also lost a great middle linebacker and a solid kicker, neither of which has a proven replacement.

MLB's are as responsible for run D as DL's... especially when the O runs right at them. PK is a huge loss.

Ainge, Hefney, Karl, and Mayo will be leaders with good experience, but we still have quite a few question marks on this team.

Every team has question marks but UT doesn't have the clear negatives that UF has to deal with on D... and offensively, all things being equal, I'd rather have UT's situation at QB than UF's even if Tebow is as talented as advertised. He played spot last year. It will be different and lonely for him this year.
