i dont really look at the number of "lost starters" but instead focus on the returning talent & depth that will take their place .

8+ returning starters on both sides of the ball means very little if the returners got thrashed the season before & have little
to no depth behind them .

Offense:
Rokevious Watkins OT/OG--best OL last year
Alshon--speaks for itself...had a bit of an off year, but our QB play was shakey until later in the season

Defense:
Melvin Ingram--Very unique talent at DT/DE...made a ton of plays for us; you don't replace a guy like that, but Kelcey Quarles has the potential to be one of the best in the SEC
Travian Robertson--stout run stuffer type DT...we think we have some bodies to step in and hold their own at this position
Stephon Gilmore--talent speaks for itself...tough to replace someone of his gifts but we should be fine with Akeem Auguste who comes back to his more natural position of CB...he's a kid prone to taking some chances, but also prone to making some plays;
Antonio Allen--played Spur [a LB/Safety hybrid] and was as dynamic a player as we've had at that position; as prodigiously talented/athletic as DeVonte Holloman is, hard to imagine that he'll have the same level of productivity as AA

On offense RB T. Poole
On defense DT Malik Jackson & DE Ben Martin

not really

the difference in 10' was an unexpected early entry departure at RightCorner.
an injury to Menzie coupled with Rob Green's "mardi gras" trip left the spot to be filled by a freshmen.

so actually it wasnt the lost starter but more so the lost returners .

USCe (even Garcia) played a perfect game, LSU came down to a play or two in their favor , and then
there was the regular season finale that was "given" away.

ofcourse the poor Big10 co-champs were served up as sacrificial lambs to end things on the right note.

Thats it

I thought depth wasn't an issue? Why would injuries matter?

are you really that stupid ?

BTW chill with the personal attacks.

1. It did matter... big time.
2. You're really that stupid.
3. You can't say that was a give away if I can't say it was a testament to that season for Auburn. We were the best 2nd half defense in the nation... and right before half time we sliced your jugular.

Don't even try to talk your way out of how dumb of a post that was. Kite is just a mod so he can't lay a verbal smack down on you like he could, even I took it light.

[highfive]
