I'm hoping the DEFENSE emerges. Just having production from that side of the ball will appear to make us look light years better. I hope the offense leans HEAVY on the run game while we build our passing game (remember 98 anybody?).
As far as individuals...I hope B. Randolph and J Smith on D show out. BR was starting to show some signs of life before the injury and the coaching changes have slowed JS in my opinion. On Offense, selfishly I hope Croom BLOWS up this year. How awesome would it be to hear 90,000+ raining down the CROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM chant in Neyland after a catch.
Smart man. With good coaching, our dormant play makers will be making plays again. It starts with Smith, Couch, McCullers, and Williams. It ends with Randolph and Moore.
I just want to be physical players out there again. Did not see that the last few years. Too soft on defense and even soft on offense. We need to play those that play very physical and overpower their opponents. It's the way the SEC is played.
Let's hope and pray it's Riyahd Jones, the guy looked ridiculously good in JuCo. But for the sake of our terrible secondary, i really hope it transfers into the SEC game
Who do you guys think is gonna emerge for us and have a breakout year? Personally, I think Daniel Gray, Pig Howard, and Brendan Downs are gonna emerge and have really great years. What say you guys?
