you are aware butch jones has made a career out of taking over brian kelly's old teams right?
so that means he can coach. now he's brought in his own talent. i believe in butch jones. i believe in this team. i believe talent wins. and we have TALENT. other than for the offensive line and linebacker, there isn't a single position group we have that isn't top 3 in the SEC.
QB = top 3 in the SEC --- only other QBs arguably better than Josh Dobbs is Jeremy Johnson and Dak Prescott
RBs = top 3 in the SEC ---- only Arkansas and Georgia are better than the duo of 2014 5 star recruit Jalen Hurd who is now 6'3" 242 lbs. and 2015 5 star JUCO transfer Alvin Kamara
WRs = top 3 in the SEC ---- only LSU and Texas A&M have a deeper stable......future 1st round pick Marquez North, Pig Howard, Von Pearson, and Josh Malone are all supremely talented future nfl players
DL = top 3 in the SEC --- only Alabama is better......Derek Barnett and Curt Maggit combined for 21 sacks last year forming the best DE combo in the country and 5 star true freshmen Kahlil McKenzie is already a man among boys
DBs = top 3 in the SEC ---- only Florida and LSU are better......Cam Sutton will be a 1st round pick next year and we have super talented youngsters like All-SEC Freshmen safety Todd Kelly Jr. and rising star Emmanuel Moseley
the only weakness this team has is the offensive line (particularly offensive tackle). if 5 star true freshmen Drew Richmond can come in and be an instant impact player at OT, we WILL be in Atlanta playing for a chance to be in the playoff.
