SEC BUZZ ๐Ÿ 'Florida's RB room is DANGEROUS!' - Greg McElroy | Always College Football

Florida let's go to the SEC Florida all I'm hearing about is the running backs I'm hearing about jacobe Jackson Joo transfer uh I'm hearing about Tran Webb who we've already known is has some crazy shiftiness and might be a problem hearing about the Freshman Jaden ball who seems to be carrying over some of the momentum created in the spring that's carried over through the summer and he's going to have a place at the table now with the injury to Montreal Johnson he's been out it's opened the door for jacobe Jackson for Jaden B for tryan Webb like these guys are going to be in a good spot running the football I've heard the offensive lines jelling I've heard the defensive backs are looking pretty good safety was a position of question sounds like both safeties Devon Moore and ASA Turner have shined at times this fall Camp they got to stay healthy because they're thin but there's a lot to feel good about right now it sounds like hey Florida Gator everyone in that camp down there in Gainesville is saying hey we're going to be a little better than people realiz so not surprised to hear it by the way Georgia sounds like the tight ends are Georgia going to be a positioned of massive strength it's Georgia right the the home of Brock Bowers you're telling me they're going to be good at tight end well I'm I'm just from what I've heard Brock Bowers was incredible this will not diminish whatsoever how good Brock Bowers was will be past and future the guy's insane like one of the best pound-for-pound football players I've ever covered but I continue to hear the name Ben urasek who's gonna play a huge role this year I'm beginning to hear more and more the name that we were talking about last year as the complimentary piece to Brock Bowers we knew Oscar Delp would be there Oscar delp's going to be rock solad as well but we had heard the name loss and lucky as hey don't sleep on this kid lost un lucky well there's a ton of people that were excited about him and then he had the high ankle sprain it sounds like he's at another great off season it sounds like Oscar delps continued to get more comfortable and Ben Urus has a chance to be a star so Georgia the rich get richer they might have three possible difference making tight ends so that's something to keep in mind sounds also like the defense has been really good so far which is encouraging considering how many guys have been on the lineup I mean Warren brinson's missed some time Chaz chamblas has missed some time C.J Allen has missed some time so they've been kind of without a lot of their guys in the middle to early part of fall camp but as those guys start to get healthy and the defense already looks pretty good that is only going to make the strong stronger so that's something worth noting Texas Texas everybody's been talking all offseason about their defensive tackles I've been talking about them you've been talking about them experts that follow the sport really closely have been talking about them how do you replace tandre sweat the Outland Trophy winner and Byron Murphy well you just probably can't do it with two guys it's not going to happen to find two guys that are that gifted to fill those voids independent of each other not going to happen but what you can do is create ridiculously competitive depth well good news Texas right now along the defensive line at defensive tackle in particular seven guys that are currently in the rotation you heard that right seven guys at defensive tackle most elite teams have four maybe five like that's Elite for Texas to have seven currently in the rotation up front goes to show you that that is ridiculous depth and these guys only have to play 15 20 snaps a game maybe 30 snaps a game at most think about how much going to be able to continually give great effort in quarter 1 quarter 4 game three game eight game 17 so the depth emerging at that position is huge we knew that Alfred Collins and Vernon Bron were going to be pretty good you continue to hear the name Aaron Bryant you hear the name Alex January you hear about the transfers from Arizona and Bill Norton and tia sea you hear Lay's name from Louisville I mean when you hear seven guys that's legit good for Texas being able to fill what was a question mark coming into the offseason wide receiver that's another group that has turned over drastically from last year there's been a lot of inconsistencies from what I gather catching the football bunch of drops uncharacteristic drops so that's something they can hopefully get cleaned up as they move forward in Fall Camp let's go next to LSU LSU don't shoot the messenger here the defense from What We Gather is starting to show signs of life okay there a group that allegedly is playing more free there's a group that is playing with great aggressiveness they've been super inconsistent but they also have had some pretty good moments as well now they've gotten gashed right at the middle a couple times they've given up way too many plays downfield in the passing game but you also have to take into account who they're going against it's a great offense they're having the face I mean a really really good offense sounds like the secondary though is starting to come together in the name that I continue to hear is Ashton St who has been one of the bright spots in Camp so far so keep an eye on that name Ashton stamps he might lock down one of those Corner spots and if he does that'd be really beneficial to the back end of that defense Texas A&M Ruben Owens was Texas AM lost for the season after a lower body injury in the scrimmage on Saturday which is disappointing because this is a thin group already they had four scholarship players now they're down to three they have Stamford transfer EJ Smith who is EMT Smith's son and he has spent the last four years with Stanford but he's had tough time kind of remaining healthy he's missed 24 games out of 42 in his career so he has had a tough time staying healthy but here's hoping that he can build on last year because last year he's able to play more than seven games in the season for the first time in his career hoping that he now is acclimated to to the punishing blows that you're going to take as a college running back and he'll be equipped to handle that role that he's going to have in kind of taking some of the pressure off Daniels and Le'Veon Moss so we'll see where things go but losing Ruben Owens a big blow for A&M and I hate that hope he can come back and be at 100 per. let's go next to Auburn Auburn I continue to hear a ton of stuff about cam Coleman and Keandre Lambert Smith now Keandre Lambert Smith has missed a little time here in the preseason and we already know what they have with revaldo Fairweather at wide receiver but the names I'm hearing right now are Bryce Kane Malcolm Simmons and Perry Thompson okay those are all super talented guys that are likely going to be in position to make some big plays now Malcolm Simmons crazy crazy top end speed I mean he can just take off and it feels like he's out of there Bryce Kane crazy reliable and then Perry Thompson has a chance down the road to become a legit game breaker if he's in there alongside cam Coleman they're going to be in a great spot so it's sounding like the wide receiver core they might even have some young guys that we didn't anticipate having a huge role this year they're carving out a little role for themselves already and the defensive line sounds like the defensive line is really playing great eight or nine different defensive linemen that have been in the first group so they have established some depth at that position and that has to be really really encouraging let's go next to Oklahoma by Oklahoma all accounts the defense is dominating dominating all right that's a huge problem not necessarily because I think their defense is really good their defense is really good and I'm not at all concerned about the possibility of that group being Rock Solid they give just one play in the scrimmage that went over 20 yards and that was a long run by by a walk-on they allowed just one touchdown on their Friday night scrimmage the concern for me though is that Jackson Arnold has continued to kind of turn the football over turned it over three times on Friday including a pick six to Danny stutzman but he turned it over three times in the bowl game as well there were some turnover issues in the spring as well you become a turnover guy it's hard to kind of Coach yourself out of that and you look at some of the teams last year whether it was Nebraska whether it was Miami whether it was Clemson when you start turning the football over with crazy regularity the likelihood of your team being consistent goes down drastically so they got to figure out a way to make Jackson Arnold comfortable and and not force the ball and Make Mistakes by turning the football over because I think U's path to success exists but you can't be giving that defense the short field over and over and over again that defense is too good to be put in a position where the offense is already in field goal range before they even take a snap so hopefully things can get ironed out for Oklahoma with their turnover
