Thinking About the Upcoming Season

The Inside the Auburn Tigers magazine has arrived.  I always like to look at the depth charts.

Offense

The biggest issue of course is who will start at QB.  Surely it will be Frazier.
It looks like all available running backs will run the ball.  Coming out of the spring I heard the most about Corey Grant.  The magazine says he has gained 10 lbs.
John Sullen will be the only senior starter in the offensive line.  We have  lots of young linemen with potential.
Patrick Miller must be awfully good as a true freshmen to get mention as a possible starter.
Who will step up beside Emory Blake at wide receiver?
It seems like Trovon Reed has been around forever but he is only a redshirt sophomore.

Defense

Lots of promising bodies all over the place but apparently the only probable senior starters are Darren Bates, T'Sharvan bell, and Jonathan Evans.
I remember good things being said about Dee Ford coming out of the spring.  We seem deep at defensive end.
Our tackles need to really step it up this year.
Linebacker is obviously the thinnest position on defense.  How good is Kris Frost?
The DBs should be better.

New coordinators, new schemes, new motivation.  It should be an interesting year.
