Rank Our Off/Def Next Year

[MSU124]

How would you rank our offense and defense next year in the SEC?

Defense 2nd or3rdbehind Bama... might throw LSU in there.

Our offense maybe 4th because Relf is developing along with all our skill position players but we will sorely miss Sherrod.

Defense? 2nd or 3rd? No way. We are loosing our top two linebackers and out top DL all of which will be in the pros next year. I can't see how we will be in the top 3 even with an improving DB core. Will three guys be found to replace those three easily? I do not, but maybe they can find enough as unit to be good. I am thinking middle of the pack in the 5th to 6th range but I sure hope you are correct.

But you're right about replacing the LBs. That is the one real concern I have going into next season.

 

[esplanade91]

We were leagues ahead of '09 in '10 without our #1 LB and a walk-on LB. I have no doubts that Bohanna, Hughes, and possibly Johnson can go hulk mode.

 

[Joe Schmedlap]

Then the Dogs could field the 4th or 5th best defense and maybe the 5th best offense.

Unless I'm missing something where he isn't scheduled "to go" in the spring, he will be a HUGE addition to our offense- a dimension that wasn't there this year
