tOSU
Strengths:
1) Crazy deep Dline
2) RB Depth
3) Braxton

Weaknesses:
1) New system, how will the team adapt?
2) WR play, crazy young last year, maybe a year of seasoning will drastically improve the WR corps.

UGA: Srength: Defense - we return 9 of last years starters and several more major contributors. We have also added much needed depth as well. Also its one more year in Grantham's scheme.

Weakness: Offense - at times a defense can asolutely shut down one aspect of our game running/passing and we break down and can't finish drives. We do however have a more solid, and deeper unit this year. Our O-line once again will be the question going into spring.

Strengths: Offense (everybody is back sans LT and FB), Defense (back seven)

Weaknesses: Youth at LT and NT.

Good use of a quote IMO

Loss of Cooper (DB coach) could potentially be a weakness. LSU has a lot of pull to replace him, but I am a cooper fan, so there could be some impact there.

What are DR's measurables?

I think Denard is a strength, but I couldn't miss out an opportunity to point out the Grossman-led NFC Champ Chicago Bears a few years ago.

It sucks but we have a very talented secondary so it should be alright

1. Dabo
2. O-Line
3. Joey Batson

OSU fans are claiming QB as a strength? He was the worst QB UF faced all year long. We sacked him six times and held him in check all game. Pretty sure he had less than 100 total yards agianst us. If you're saying he's a strength because of his HS rankings, then I'll say QB is a strength for UF, considering we signed two top five guys the year before last.. Point is, it's not. Maybe he showed flashes and everyone knows that a second year will help anyone, but it's way premature to call him a strength.

UT and LB? Again, worst LB unit UF faced in the SEC all year long. Maggit could be nice, but Johnson is SLOW as he can be. Who else has done anything? Getting to be "Bama" good? Who on the roster, or that you've recruited, would lead you to believe you're even UF, UGA, USCe, LSU good, let alone Bama LB good? Bad returning starters does not make them ten times better just because they're back. If a guy is ultra talented, you can usually tell within a year, two tops. Just because an injured "projected" starter is coming back, doesn't mean he was any good before. UT's entire starting OL returned in tact last year after a full year of experience. I think they actually got softer and worse than they were as freshmen. Who did you bring in that's going to change that? By a players third year starting, you've got a pretty good idea of whether they're going to be really good, good, average, or just plain bad. Right now, if those LB's or OL become just average, it'll be an upgrade.

Strengths for UF

Front seven. Powell, Floyd, Easley, Hunter, McCray, Bostic, Jenkins, Orr, are all back, as are all their backups. Even after this year, only two are gone. Should be a huge strength this year. At DB, we started three true freshmen last year at some point. The oldest starter at DB was a sophmore last year. Those guys were really good by years end. They should also be a huge strength this year.

TE - Starters are back and we added the nations top two TE's in this years class, although only one will make an impact imo, and that's as a blocker

ST's. Our FG kicker was a finalist for the FG award (Ray Guy or Growza?) He led the nation in FG's last year. Made a 57 yarder but can actually kick it further than that.

Returner - Debose has run five kickoffs back for TD's the last two years. Only a junior this year.

? marks - OL - Everyone of them were new starters last year. They sucked.. I'm hoping it was youth, coaching, and switching schemes. The top ten OL's return this year and only one graduates after this year. Want to call them a strength, but unlike the UT fan, I don't equate returning starters with being a strength if they were bad in the first place. We'll see how it goes.

Weakness - QB - Great potential, one will be good in time, but still young. Not sure how it plays out but there will be growing up to do. Luckily, if the offense is just average for the first time in two years, UF can and maybe should win the east.

WR - I like Debose and Dunbar, but there is zero depth. One gets hurt and we're in trouble.

RB - See WR. Gilly is a nice RB and Joyer was a ridiculous FB as a true freshmen. That said, each have one backup that's not a true freshmen. Time for Mack Brown to live up to his high ranking. One injury to Gilly or Mack Brown and we're in trouble.

Chips are stacked against us for having a good offense. Just not enough depth anywhere. If our new OC and OL coach can improve them to just average, UF will be pretty damn good. Our offense ran the fewest amount of plays in the ENTIRE NCAA last year. John Brantley was literally playing for the other team in half our games last year. Our turnover margin was SO BAD. Weis, Brantley, Verducci were all disasters. The fact that we were so young on defense, with little depth, and still finished top ten nationally is ridiculous. Those guys are going to be insane this year imo.. Offense, not so much..

Strengths: front seven, OL, TE's, RB's Woods and Riddick moves back to RB, Atkinson as kick returner. Weaknesses: inexperienced CB's, huge questions at WR, young guys Neal, Daniels, and possibly Chris Brown must make immediate impacts. Chris Brown is a TF who missed over half his SR season but came back to put up huge #'s kid is 6-3 180 runs a 4.35 and might be the best long jumper in college next year. Most glaring question is who's the QB. Most think Golson wins out, if it's Reese we're in for another long year. PR team has no where to go but up. Neal, Brown, or AtkinsonIII should improve that. LB's have to get better in coverage. I expect the young kids to make major push for PT. We brought in a lot of talent in the LB class last year, most RS or played sparingly.
