I refuse to believe they are more talented than us. Many have said that they have loaded up on transfers and have improved their program. I went and looked at their starting 11 on both sides. Let’s take a look: Offense: CJ Yarbrough - WR - 6’3 205 - ***; offered by Jacksonville State, Troy, South Alabama, Virginia Kevin Shaa - WR - 5’11 165 - **; offered by Eastern Michigan and ODU DJ Stubbs - WR - 5’9 185 - ***; offered by App State, Colorado State, Elon, various other FCS schools. Tristan Schultz - LT - 6’4 305 - unranked; no other offers Damian Bounds - LG - 6’1 290 - unranked; no other offers Thomas Sargeant - C - 6’1 295 - unranked; no other offers Brendan Schittler - RG - 6’5 315 - **; offered by Army, Columbia, EKU, EMU, Tennessee Martin, NIU Cooper McCaw - RT - 6’5, 305 - unranked; offered by Arkansas St, Louisiana Johnny Huntley - TE - 6’3 240 - (transfer from Colorado), *** WR out of HS, offered by Syracuse, App State, Bowling Green, Cincy, FIU, Kentucky Louisville, Purdue, Rutgers, TCU, Temple, Tennessee, USF, Washington, WVU, WKU, Josh Mack - RB - 5’11 200 - (transfer from Maine) - ** star out of HS; Malik Willis - QB - 6’1 215 - (transfer from Auburn) - *** out of HS; offers from VATech, Air Force, Ball State, Elon, GA State, GA Tech, Jackson State, Mercer, Ohio, South Alabama, Souther Miss, Troy, Tulane. Okay. So what do we know? They’ve put up points. They have a mobile quarterback. Yeah yeah, he’s a transfer from Auburn, but lets not pretend like he’s a usual Auburn recruit. They have some size on the offensive line, but our defensive line should be able to counter them easily. They are not set up to power run against us. In terms of talent - I like our defense against their offense Defense: TreShaun Clark - DE - 6’1 235 - unranked; offers from Alabama A&M, App State, CMU, Cornell, Marshall, UCONN Elijah James - DT - 6’5 300 - (transfer from IWCC), unranked; also offered by Kentucky and Chattanooga. Ralf Rusins - NT - 6’6 325 - unranked, originally from Latvia. Durrell Johnson - DE - 6’4 235 - (transfer from ASA); unranked - offers from Akron, Bethune Cookman, Grambling, Morgan State, South Alabama. Anthony Butler - MLB - 6’1 230 - (transfer from Charlotte) - **; offers from App State, Coastal, Georgi State. Aaron Pierre - WLB - 6’0 205 - unranked, no other offers. Juwan Treadwell - ROVER - 6’0 195 - transfer from Last Chance U; *** - offers from Akron, South Alabama, Southern Miss, Temple. Chris Megginson - CB - 6’0 185 - **; offers from Elon, Georgia State, VMI, Western Illinois. Javon Scruggs - S - 5’11 180 - **; offeres from Marshall. Emmanuel Dabney - CB - 6’0 180 - (transfer from Hinds Community College); other offers from Louisiana Monroe, Middle Tennessee, New Mexico, ODU, Southern Miss. Marcus Haskin - S - 6’0 185 - (Transfer from Iowa Western CC); other offers from Akron, Austin Peay, Buffalo, Charlotte, Coastal, Kent State, Louisiana Tech, NMSU, Northern Iowa, Troy. If we had Tommy this week, I love our offensive potential. Unfair to make a prediction on offense, because we have no idea what we are going to get out of Rex. Where he goes, our offense goes. I originally thought this would be like last years game, but dynamics have changed. I really do believe they have been over hyped a bit. I’ve read all over that they are this new sleeping giant and transfer haven of forgotten BCS players. I just wanted to post what we are going up against. It will hopefully either calm some nerves or make people even more angry after Saturday. I’ll choose to use this as optimism in my orange colored glasses that we still will out talent them to a victory. [/QUOTE]
