:rofl::rofl::rofl: They will try...but the very thought of Shep being guarded by a safety or LB is hilarious!!
All of the above plus Steven Ridley. This team is talented. If JJ can get his head in the game this is going to be a fun year. I can't wait.
I remember seeing Ryan Baker near the ball every time he was on the field, especially on ST (I'm pretty sure it was him). If he is starting, I think he turns into a star. Is Jai Eugene starting at FS this year? For all the hype he had surrounding him coming in, he's been a disappointment in my opinion, and I'd like to see him hit it big before the draft.
I am going to say the offense. I don't know how there won't be marked improvement over last year. I don't know if any individual will have an all-American caliber season because of the limited number of footballs in play at one time. I am hoping Richard Murphy has a breakout year, but that will be tough to do with Ford and Ridley chomping at the bit.
I expect break-out seasons for: Russell Shepard, Ken Adams, Michael Ford, and Morris Claiborne. Sam Montgomery, Reuben Randle, and DeAngelo Peterson are fringe picks. I expect them to impress, but not get the kind of stats/national attention the above will. Out of RS, Adams, Ford, and Claiborne: Shepard should clearly receive the most national attention with a good season. Morris Claiborne should become known as the 2nd half of the best CB tandem in CFB by the end of the season.
