re: Success of our run game will depend on passing attack

Rather than be a dick and say thanks, cap'n obvious, I'll try and add something positive.
OP, you are correct in your assumptions that a young QB, an experienced O-line, and tons of talent at the RB position will likely dictate that our offense will rely heavily on the run, and that doing so - without any semblance of a passing attack - could be thwarted by opposing defenses.
Keep this in mind though. Sometimes, even when a team KNOWS what you are going to do, they can't stop it. This particular offense, when it comes to running the football, may be the just that good.
Jeremy Hill ran the ball pretty much at will last year. He was really good. The line that he ran behind is back, and they are bigger, more experienced, and more battle tested. Fournette very well may be better than Hill. I honestly think this team could score 25+ next year in 8 games and never throw a pass, with me handing the ball off.

Word on the street is that the success of the passing attack will depend on the run game

Not worried. Teams that stack the box will allow our young QB to make plays. Cam will make sure to exploit these situations.
If the offense carries out their blocking assignments(with an OL this deep and talented)then only an extremely talented defense can slow down a quality running attack. See 2010 and 2011 as the perfect example of this. No one not named 'Bama in the 2012 BCSNC game slowed those guys down and everyone stacked the box. This bunch of Tigers should be capable of blowing most people off of the line enough to give guys like Magee, Hilliard and Fournette all the room they need. Throw the two mobile QB's into the mix and the ingredients are in place for 200 plus ypg rushing; stack the box or not.
