Agree with most everything here.  I think the biggest questions involve Davis and Bergeron on the offensive side.

On defense, McKinley's status is a big deal, especially given we are playing a team that runs the ball well, and who the final DB is.

I am going to assume Bergeron is fine and is a lock to start at LT.  Bleich is one of the OG.  If Davis is okay, he is the other.  Otherwise it will be Tisdale.

Has Davis participated in any contact drills yet?  I think Saturday was the 2nd and final scrimmage.  If he and McKinley didn't play in it (I am pretty sure they did not), it would seem unlikely that they will play Saturday.  If they do, it will probably be limited minutes.

On defense, with McKinley questionable, I am wondering who our 3rd string NG is.  Will it be Lockett?  Will they move Black inside?  Maybe Caleb?  We have a lot more depth at DE than we do at NG.

In the secondary, sounds like Nunn is just getting into contact drills now.  I think he is unlikely to get the start at CB, especially with Duce doing so well.

I think we are pretty locked in now with Williams and Chestnut at the CB spots, I think Carter and Hanna are locks to start.  The other safety...I suspect is going to be Simmons, but Greenwood, Coley, Labrosse, or even Barron could be the guys.  I expect we are going to play all these guys in the first few games and probably beyond that, with the cream rising to the top over time.

From what I saw Saturday, Coley was running with the 3rd team defense most of the time.  I don't think he is going to start (though he might get some playing time).

The forecast for Athens Saturday is sunny with a high of 80 and a low of 59.  By 7 pm, I am guessing it will be around 72 and by the end of the game, maybe 65.  At least heat should not be a factor.
