Here is what I see as far as troubling questions...

QB- Little experience as far as playing 4 quarters to win a game. Athleticism is there.... but is a solid QB? I hope so.

RB- JJ Bass was good. A Rob was solid. Scales is a bulldog. Jason Harris might be the most athletic 4th string RB we have had in a long time. If JJ is ok to play and we stay healthy... we could be solid here.

TE- Solid blockers, average recievers. We will see if Colin Franklin is actually as good of a reciever as we have been told.

WR-- RJ and Hamilton are pretty solid. Good possession guys. Wallace Franklin didn't produce last year, so it would be a pretty big leap of faith thinking he will be star this year. Sounds like SJ is pretty solid (although only a true freshman) and Carlson could get some PT this year too.

Oline- Since we didn't really lose anything, I like this position. Lots of depth. Athletic guys. I love the fact that we had a good push at times late in the season. Am I the only one who thinks that our Oline cut down on penalties bigtime last year?

DE Taylor and Lyle will be ok. I do like both guys. Parker is also darn solid. Im just afraid the lack of proven DTs will allow these guys to get plenty of blocking.

DT Ugh. Not looking forward to this position this year. We have a long list of recruiting studs who have never seen the field, so lets hope that one of them comes out of nowhere to be a stud. We have some solid young players (Black, Johnson), but losing Tuba was HUGE. Might be the biggest loss from last year.

LB I think we could be 'ok' here. Jesse Smith makes me sick when he in pass coverage, but I love his nose against the run. Raven, Garrin are super athletic, but not the biggest guys in the world. Again a position where we need some guys who have really never touched JTS playing surface to step up.

DB Allen Bell and Singleton will make solid corners. McDowell will be good again. Hopefully Chris Brown can heal up for some PT next year. Smith is an OK safety, still waiting for him to have a great year. It is only pn paper but it looks like we landed a great class of DBs.

Kicker-- MAJOR worry again. Relying on 2 new HS kickers is not fun. Crossing my fingers these guys are ok.




We have a lot of positions where we are relying on guys who have never produced in a D1 game before. Dline is so important, so lets pray we have about 4 DTs that really have game.

Our obvious strength should be running the ball and the short passing game. Hopefully that is enough to win at least 3 games next year.

My prediction 4-8
