Ok. But they have a starting 5 of 4 jr's and one senior... They have been in the program long enough to be effective.

If you know anything about offensive play, you would know that it takes a level of continuity for all 5 to play in in sync together. What you are overlooking is the fact this usually takes several games to occur. Their line play may be ok by the end of the season but I don't envision this unit being a strong point early on. There's also the experience factor you have chosen to ignore. Upperclassman doesn't automatically equal tons of on field experience.

three of their top four rushers are back, their top two wr's

Outside of Josh Robinson, none of their other backs were anything special. Also, outside of De'Runnya Wilson, none of their returning receivers are anything special.

They have not lost as much as most are saying... Losing starters makes a difference but with a ton of upperclassman coming back they are still dangerous........

Once again, upperclassmen doesn't automatically equate to loads of game experience. State had that going into last. They do not heading into this season.
