D Rogers is on a short leash. Hunter is coming off a significant injury. Arnett is transferring. Z Rogers is inconsistent. Milton, Dallas, and Oliver have made no impact to date.

The coaches may want to keep Neal in this position going forward...he was the only offensive player who showed up vs KY. Croom or Howard will have to be ready early. And since Teague has been passed on the depth chart, maybe he gets moved back to offense.

I miss the days where we would just decide to run more if had this much uncertainty in the passing game. But ummmm that didn't go so well last year.

We will be fine at WR, no need to panic and think the sky is falling, the run game will be the defining moment on whether this offense will be successful next season. I hope Coach Graham can find and coach us a beast to run the ball.

Well, I can see reason for major concern. No running game last year, and when our passing game fell apart, via Hunter/Bray, we became elementary school football.

I thought it was Milton who was transferring. Edit: I just saw the link on Arnett but I think Milton is gone as well.

I'm not worried. Hunter will be fine since he did not have a devastating injury - just your run of the mill ACL tear.

I also think the Rogers issue is being blown out of proportion. I expect our passing game to be stellar next year.

No need to worry at all Hunter will heal up well and V. Dallas showed promise as a wideout. We also have a few 4 stars who can contribute. Also we should move neal ack to rb that would make the passing game deadly.

Too much panic button here. This Rogers thing has been blown up too much. He'll be fine.

I think Hunter will be fine as well. An ACL tear sucks (trust me, I know) but it can be rehabbed back to 100%.

I think Dallas will make an impact with more playing time.

Plus Croom and Pig are going to be beastly.

its possible, not certain at this polint, but possible that Milton and Neal follow Arnett by transferring. Of course with Rogers, he has to toe the line to get a chance to return.

so yes, WR could become an issue..

Well that stinks. I can see the first two being legitimate. The role thing though is hard to figure, he got more time on the field than most true freshmen do. He would be a even bigger part this year. Man we can't seem to go forward without backing up.

Hi Larry,

How many scholarships do we need to make room for in this upcoming signing class, 6?

If Rodgers was supposedly the reason Baggett retired, yet is basically being disciplined, why did CCB feel he still needed to leave?

I think Baggett felt disicpline was too late. Needed to be implemented during the season..

Then why is his effort at rb so lackluster compared to his wr time? Granted, he would get more touches at rb, but from what Ive seen, he's much better where he is.

I don't disagree with your statements but he thinks he is a RB so what we or the staff thinks doesn't matter
