Returning Starters on Offense?

I watched SEC media days and saw 4 returning starters on offense . Miles said we had 6; then I read we had 5.....?
Seems to me... 4 OL return with Pocic, Washington and Fehoko playing a decent amount last year to replace Turner. TE returns. Magee returns and is a very underrated RB. Neighbors returns who started 7 games last year.
We also return our kicker, long snapper and punter as well, on special teams.
Dural is the real deal and someone should emerge as at least an average #2 SEC WR next year at a minimum.
The new QB is a concern and growing pains will occur, but others are in a similar situation and they dont have Cam Cameron or our running game.
Someone bring me back to reality, but I think this is the most determined team and coaches we've had in a few years. Also, where are all these Freshman starters? If Jennings wins the job and Magee splits carries, where are they?

It should be 6 starters if we count the TE and FB.
Hill was the starting RB, but I am very comfortable with Magee.

The only starters returning are Collins, Alexander, Porter, Hawkins and Gordon.
Ummmm no.

Wasn't Copeland the starting FB though? Neighbors saw a lot of playing time, but JC was the starter.

Connor Neighbors was the starting FB by the second half of the season.
That makes 6.
Basically our blocking is very experienced.

I don't care how many are officially returning starters, we have plenty of guys with experience coming back on offense, besides WR's... And I love the WRs we have coming in.

Neighbors returns who started 7 games last year.

Ok I didn't realize this.

I think the only true inexperience we have on offense will be at QB and one of the WR positions. Agreed both are vital positions, but we have more than enough talent opposite Dural at WR that is waiting to burst onto the scene. Whomever our QB may be, I think he will get better and better as the season progresses. He has a very talented group around him that's for sure. One of the best O-Line's in the nation blocking for him, an experienced group at TE, and some very athletic WR's and RB's.

After watching Auburn from last year, I believe we can replicate the success in the passing game.
Marshall and Johnson combined for 2400 passing yards 20 TDs and 8 ints. Sammie Coates went from 8 catches 114 yards and 2 TDs in 2012 as a true freshman to 42 catches 902 yards and 7 TDs as a sophomore. Ricardo Louis went from 36 yards as a true freshman in 2012 to 325 yards and 2 TDs in 2013. Marcus Davis as a true freshman WR had 217 yards and a TD in 2013.
Basically backups from their previous year and a greeny were their top 3 leading WRs.
I'd like to believe Dural, Dupre, Quinn, Leslie, and Diarse are waaaaay better than what they had. Gordon is a freak athlete than can be utilized in the passing game along with Smith and Dickson. Don't forget that Magee spent a year at WR and Fournette played WR half the time in high school (very well I might add). Harris and Jennings (me being a homer) should be better than Marshall was last year, who practiced with Auburn all of a couple of weeks before the season started.
