Georgia Southerm fans, I think you're in for a rude awakening dealing with a coaching transition, offense transition, and losing some of your star players (mainly McKinnon). With that said you are right we play a tougher conference schedule. I still expect us to make some improvement this year and I think we can take you guys based off of what you have left from last year vs. what we have. However with that being said I don't see us winning because we've won too many consecutive games in the rivalry and this is at southern. You guys are due for a win. I think we have the better team right now but I think you're team is and should be fed up and will put out for that game.

I don't think the offensive transition will be as tough as some think. We are still running an option offense, just out of a different formation. Yes we will pass more, but not a ton more. Losing McKinnon does suck, but we have plenty of guys with his speed and agility, and Ellison is a beast of an athlete, and he is getting a run for his money at QB.

I fully believe our offense will put up good numbers. But it is our defense that worries me.
