The Blue Board

No. Only an FSU fan would see names he doesnt recognize and think they cant play. FSU has big name recruits every year and it hasnt seemed to allow them to win the ACC. Alshon had a down year last year, and we finished with 11 wins. We only throw the ball around 15-20 times a game. I expect more out of this team than I did the one last year. We're gonna run two TE's as well..and we have a fantastic TE corp.

List the opponents and the score then. We'll wait.

FSU best DL in the country? Best run D in the country? Did LSU lose their DL to suspension while I was asleep?

You're right...FSU won. We lost our best player to a blind side hit, had 6 turnovers, and you still only won by 9. I am more confident in the WR corp than I have been in a long time. When you have a deep corp and someone that can spread the ball, that's a helluva lot better than having one standout WR that you force balls to 15 times a game.

Blind side? Eh, lets move on. If you notice Im carrying a pretty good debate here instead of just letting the board die in the middle of the day. Anyone is welcome to keep bantering.

FSU is very, very talented. When/if they put it together, they'll be a force again. But they've got to win the ACC before they start barking about the SEC. It's ridiculous that Clemson has their number like they do, and I just cannot figure out why a team with so much talent can be so mercurial every year. If you put a leader like Saban in Tallahassee that kept his team level and focused for a whole season, they'd be scary.

As for USC, I can't imagine we'd go 11-1 next year, but stranger things have happened. We will be very stout defensively, and playing UGA in the middle of the year favors us I believe. I think Shaw will be in rhythm, Latti's knee will be battle tested, the WRs will have worked out the kinks, and any defensive issues will be shored up (see last years team...first three games were awful, then a top 10 D in the nation the rest of the year).

As always, the UGA game will be hard-fought and close. I figure we'll win it at home, but who knows. Thing is, we could win that game and still lose the East b/c UGA once again got a favor from Birmingham and avoids the big 3 in the west. Although, I still think Mizzou catches UGA looking in Week 2.

S Car is 14-2 the last 3 years OOC.

This is a great list. I'd only switch MSU and T A&M.

Who else would they lose to. There isn't that many to lose, honestly. Florida to FSU, Kentucky to Louisville, Ole Miss to Texas, and Auburn to Clemson.

The only others that I could see would be Vandy to NW or USCe to Clemson, maybe.

Saban pulling off a 360 dunk is more likely than Clemson beating S Car.

that also included bowls, which the op of this thread doesn't.

those aren't that far fetched.

I don't know man, Mosley has been a star for two years, Nico has been ballin' for three years, Hubbard and Dickson have shown they can get it done at Jack and Sam..then factor in Dillon Lee who has turned heads this Spring on a team used to 5* LB'ers, and Ryan Anderson

And while we lost two really good NG's, we moved one of those DE's who is just as big and started last year (Williams) to NG, with our other Ends returning. So our front 7 will still be great.

To think Bama won't field a top 10 D this year is ridiculous.

I don't even factor Lee or Anderson into my thinking. I want to see it on the field in a game first. They will only be a positive addition in my mind until then. I honestly doubt Anderson gets on the field much, but Lee is a definitely possiblility in my mind.

Williams is actually a good bit bigger than our NG's from last year. Chapman was a stump of a man an right at about 300 and Gentry was maybe 280. Williams is 6'4", 325 and much more athletic than either.

I know a lot of people were wanting Ivory to step into the starting role, but I was silently hoping for Williams to get moved to NG. He will be able to push the pocket from up the middle and follow the play to the outside as well.
