With OL we will lose thus year?
Hell, after what Auburn did last year, we should have a chance. I mean Marshall came in and basically learned the offense in two weeks and played on pure talent through the season.
We need to play to our strengths. Power run game, play action pass. Dural has as much experience coming into this year as Coates had last year. If people really stopped and looked, Auburn was about as prepared last year on offense as we are this year. Thing is, we have what projects to be a top 10 defense. This is the same thing we did that led us to 11 wins in 2010 except we have way more talent on the team this year.
The only two improved teams, we have at home (Ole Miss, MSU). Bama is at home, we have Auburn and UF on the road, but both of those teams are suspect like us. TAMU is a year off, and Arky is not the same Arky when Petrino was there.
I'd say we are a legit 10 win regular season team, with the talent to win 11.

Also with regards to the schedule, replacing Georgia with Kentucky will definitely help. Our schedule is very favorable, if we can take advantage. Only thing I don't like is the length of time before our first bye week.

Since when has Auburn become a suspect team for this year? They are pretty much returning everyone except Mason, Robinson,Ford, and Davis. Yes those are some big losses, but not nearly as big of losses as other teams in the SEC had. And they have really good players with a lot of experience to replace those guys with.
Its the 2nd year in Malzahns system. Itll be Marshalls 2nd year as the QB and he improved greatly over the duration of the season last year. I expect him to pick up right where he left off from last season and be even better than he was.
They lost Tre Mason, but they return Payne (610 yards on 91 carries 6.7ypc) and Grant(647 yards on 66 carries 9.8ypc). And then get 5* RB Roc Thomas. And the system is very much a RB friendly system with a great OL that returns 2 players on the All SEC 2nd team in Dismukes, Center, and Uzomah, TE. And 2 other full time starters.
Carl Lawson will step in at Dee Fords spot, and could be better than Ford and had 7.5TFL and 4 sacks as a true freshman. And they return the other starter at DE in LaDarius Owens. Not to mention they have Montravius Adams and Elijah Daniel going into their sophomore year.
They return their top 2 WRs in Coates (900yards and 7 TDs) and Louis. And they add Dhaquille Williams who immediately becomes their top WR in terms of talent. So they got better at WR.
They lost some key players, sure, but they also return a lot of key players and they will be in their 2nd year in the Mazahn system and Marshall will be in his 2nd year at QB. And since becoming a college coach, this is the 1st time Malzahn will be able to work with the same starting QB for 2 consecutive seasons.
Out of the top teams in the SEC, Auburn returns the most and returns the starting QB for their team. They are not suspect.
