I'm not saying they were all world last year, but other than losing Marcus Jackson we should be as good or better at every position.
Kerbyson was a starter at OT for much of last year, is a year stronger & wiser, and as far as I can tell has been locked in at LT as opposed to bounching around.
Crowder a starter last year is a year stronger and wiser and some think he can be over taken which would indicate we upgraded at the position.
Robertson was a true freshman playing OG for the 1st time. Likely barely even knew what he was doing.
Gilliam (while a warrior) was a former walk on playing on a torn ACL. At minimum we should have a talent upgrade over him.
Coleman Thomas was a career center playing OT for the 1st time. Maybe he's not all-SEC but surely he's improved.
Barring horrific injuries or coaching, I don't see how we can be worse and once Dobbs was inserted we ran the ball pretty effectively accpet vs. Mizzou and vandy. I discount vandy a little because we had no Hurd and were also limited at WR. Just seems there is some reason for optimism here.
