JDUBB4AU 5,138 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 OLine looks promising actually. Looks like a solid bowl team with a few upsets as well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotsAU 1,343 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Pretty close to what I’ve been hearing as well aside from 2 things: 1. I’ve heard there’s really more of a top 6 at reviver right now, with different players looking better on different days. I’ve seen JJ and Shorter frequently listed in contention for starting positions. 2. Larry Nixon is frequently listed right there with the two you list as starters. 2 of those 3 will probably start (Nixon, Keyes, and Asante). Not sure which 2 will win out. We will likely see all three and possibly also Riley get a lot of play time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabby 1,958 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Ashford is ahead of Geriner? That is surprising, but I would definitely love to see what Ashford could do with better accuracy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robby's big play potential and SEC experience are hard to overlook even with his passing flaws. Geriner is obviously going to look the best in a scrimmage where QBs can't be hit and he is going against the 3s on defense mostly. I do like Holden and he is our best passer but he just isn't there yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was dead last in so many key metrics in all of the sec last season. If he is named starter….. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a freshman. 2 didn’t have a competent coach. 3. was battling a shoulder injury for most of the season. He’s apparently worked on fundamentals heavily in the off-season, and is actually throwing it pretty well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also he can improve and still not be close to sec starter material. He had a 49% completion percentage last year! He’s not going to have a 11% jump to 60% which is where he needs to be. Also his greatest strength which is his legs is mitigated by the fact he is a fumbling machine and can’t hold on to the ball.

And, at this point, there’s no reason for Hugh to not get as many reps as possible to a starter. So, either Thorne is also awful or Ashford had improved. There is no other explanation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also… He’s a sophomore, which means he was a freshman last year… So I have no idea what you mean by he was not a freshman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
