Offense next year

Not to mention he's a better blocker than Taylor, so he'll open up holes in the running game for Kelvin Taylor.

But it's at wide receiver where we'll truly turn the corner. It starts with Purifoy. He's the fastest player on the team, and a sure bet to be All-SEC. Also, keep your eyes out for a rising Quinton Dunbar. Solomon Patton looks awful like Percy on those jet sweeps. DeMarcus Robinson will likely be the freshman of the year in SEC play. And Pittman is the most physical receiver we've had in a while.

Our run game will be the most physical it's been in years. I anticipate that Kelvin Taylor will lead the SEC in rushing.

I hope you didn't put money on any of this because that's just not gonna happen. This post reminds me of Kentucky's message boards.

We will be improved because it is the second year for a very raw quarterback and the second year in a new offensive scheme. The offensive line will be as good in the run game or better and I suspect with some adjustments to the passing game that the pass protection will be as well. We have the horses to fill Gilislee's spot, even if we don't replace his entire productivity. The only real spot for concern is receiver, which really held us back last year. Dunbar is solid, but unspectacular. The combination of Burton, Taylor, and Thompson fill fill the Reed-Hines roles. The biggest question is whether or not we can find a playmaker or two at receiver, someone who can make something happen with the ball in his hands on a short route or get off a jam and beat his man deep or into his break. Robinson is probably the best bet. Andrades and Pittman are decent, but I don't see either as explosive. Maybe Purifoy will prove me wrong, but I suspect his greater upside is at corner, not receiver, and he finds his way back there.

Wow. I really thought that there was more imagination on this board than there is...

I'm more curious to how you think Kelvin is going to lead the Conference in rushing but Demarcus wins SEC Freshman of the year... Do you think we go to a no huddle attack or average 70 a game or what?
