Great lineup.

Can you imagine UF or LSU’s all-2000s D team when ours is that good? Of course, we’ve struggled more with depth than top end talent, but our list remains less impressive than those two over the last decade (so does almost everyone else’s).

DT

Is the obvious weak point. Probably this year too, unfortunately. We’ve has some good guys, but no one super special like the great teams do (Fairley, Cody, Suh, Dorsey, just to name a few).

Yeah, I agree. Moore is the only DT we've have who has made an All-SEC team in the past decade. Ajiboye was good, but he obviously wasn't elite.

Hard to say if we’ll be in the same boat this year. Robertson has the potential to make the All-SEC team, but he’s hardly a shoe-in. After that, it’s hard to say. Ingram and maybe Quarles will be good, but they’re hybrids who will likely only play in the middle on passing downs. Fordham and Jerideau are the other starters in the middle on rushing downs, and I don’t really know what to expect from them.

Would be nice

If Jerideau had a break-out year – he definitely has the brawn – listed at 319 at gamock central depth chart. Not sure what to expect from Surrat off-the-bench,

At DE, I know we have Taylor, Ingram, Quarles and of course Clowney, but I’m also really excited to see if Chaz Sutton is ready to mix it up; I thought he was coming on really well at the end of last year.
