Just finished watching a replay of the game, so I know they cut some out. I'm also not an X's and O's guy, so no Cover2 analysis, but I really hopes he posts one.
QB - Not really a fair competition, but LDR was outstanding. Looks more consistent than Grier did and knows where to go with the ball. Appleby was alright. He had 2nd team offense vs. 1st defense, but I was hoping for more. Trask obviously lacks experience, but he has some football IQ. Not a cannon of an arm, but looks to throw an accurate ball, athletic, and has good pocket presence. Mature decision making for his experience level. Franks would have been a disappointment, but my expectations are low. Cannon for an arm (long release though). Doesn't seem to process things well, but time will tell. Glad he finished strong. He won't be SEC ready until his 3rd year at the earliest. I think LDR starts, hope Appleby plays well enough for 2nd string, and RS the two Fr. However, I think Trask will pass Appleby at some point, just hope Appleby plays well enough to not waste a RS.
OL - we are improved. I would say significantly improved, but since the bar was so low, that doesn't say much, nor should it. Ivey was out, and he'll help with depth at OT, but we only have 3 playable OT's. We will have depth on the interior. I can see Forsythe getting some late season PT at OT if someone gets hurt. Hard to think he's not going to be able to pass Harkless or Mike. OL unfortunately is a developmental group. We have taken a step in the right direction, but we need a really solid summer and fall from this group.
RB - I didn't see much of Cronk. Looked like Thompson and Scarlett got a lot of reps. Just not impressed with Scarlett, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt because of the Orange OL. Thompson looked good except for the fumble. I see it as a Cronk, Thompson battle right now, but Scarlett will get his shot.
WR - I hope Worton will finally turn the corner, he's talented. Massey made some nice plays. Didn't hear Fulwood's name all night. Hope the Fr can develop over the summmer. Sousa should leave.
TE - Lewis is going to be the name this season, unless he gets hurt again. Good group, and we'll lean on them a lot.
DL - didn't really pay attention, but looked pretty good for the most part.
LB - Could be a breakout squad on the team. Anazalone needs to stay healthy. If McMillian can catch on, we should be good. Johnson and Reese both looked pretty good. If they continued to develop, we're in pretty good shape.
Secondary - Maye will be solid. Dawson had a nice game. Wilson looked good. Didn't see much of the other guys, but our 1st string should be solid, need 2nd string to develop
K - looks good
