Let's hear it.  Predict the starting lineup vs the Terps 1st game of the season.  Offense & Defense.  And what lineup changes do you predict over the course of the season?  

I expect us to be pretty salty defensively.  As always, offense hinges on the offensive line play.  We get decent O-Line play, and every other group looks better.  

11 butcher knives on offense.

11 fuck lions on defense.

Stone cold killers at both kicking positions.

Show me a fucking loss.

And give me a thorazine, while you're at it.

  • QB: Ehlinger 
  • RB: Young, with Carter splitting carries
  • OL: Anderson, Vahe, Shack, Rodriquez, Kerstetter *shrugs*
  • WR: Johnson, LJH, Duvernay 
  • TE: Brewer (if healthy)
  • DL: Hager, Nelson, Charles O (+Graham)
  • LB: Roach, Hater of QBs/RBs, McCulloch
  • DB: Davis, Boyd, Locke, Bonney, Jones 

Those DB youngins will see plenty of playing time as the season progresses, especially Caden Sterns

Looks to me like you've got one too many LBs and one too few DBs. I'm willing to bet we go base dime more often than not. Because Orlando is fucking nuts. Great, but nuts.

Adding another DB in the Dime/Lightning packages would include... Josh Thompson?  Seems like he's ready to ball out this year. Ready for Overshown to be that lightning package tweener in a year or so.

Maryland can't pass though.

Doesn't matter. Lightning works against the run, too, if you do it right.  The old rules are not the rules Orlando follows.

Maybe in general but the question was about the maryland game. We will not be basing out of dime for Maryland.

Looks right. Stearns or Foster may break into the starting lineup.

Ehlinger

Young

Anderson, Vahe, Shack, Okafor, Kerstetter

Letaio

CJ, Duvernay, LJH

———————————————————

Hager, Graham, Omen

GJ, Shark

A buncha DB’s who will F you up except Jones until he learns to play the ball in the air.

I don't know what to think about facing Canada's offense in the first game. On one hand, he did jack shit with LSU athletes on offense and will have a big step down with Maryland athletes. On the other hand, all of that motion and jetsweep stuff won't really be fun in the first game with no film. 

My stab:

  • QB: Ehlinger 
  • RB: Young    +Carter
  • OL: Anderson, Vahe, Kerstetter, Grandy, Okafor
  • WR: Johnson, LJH, Heard   + Duvernay
  • TE: Beck   + Leitao
  • DL: Hager, Graham, Charles O   + Nelson
  • LB: Roach, Johnson   + Shark
  • DB: Davis, Boyd, Thompson, Locke, Jones   + Foster

Ingram going to get time and lots of carries

I'm regarded and can't spell

The real question is how many pts will the Terps score with killers on D.

Let's hope for less than half a hundred this time. Biggest game of Tom's career.

Can't understate how important it is for Herman to be 2-0 heading into USC rolling into DKR.  Should be a huge opportunity for the national perception of Herman and Texas.

Ehlinger and a Hand led offensive line are what I am most excited to see. They hopefully have made the leap. I don't think it will matter who exactly is starting as much as what is the scheme and how do they play together. Also, I'm praying the play calling improves with Hand.

Tackle - Anderson, Kerstetter, Rodriguez, and Okafor have experience. Cosmi and Urquidez are there too.

I think Anderson and Kerstetter start.

Guard - Okafor, Vahe, Grandy, Hudson, Imade, Rodriguez

I think Vahe and Rodriguez start.

Shackelford at Center.

WRs and RBs will probably shuffle so much again it won't matter really who starts.

I don't worry at all about defense, because it seems like intensity and scheme is going to win on that side of the ball. Guys will all get some playing time, but the 3-2-6 looks like it will be used quite a bit to control the passing game. If the DBs can get off blocks well enough and tackle well enough to stop the run game, I think 6 of them in there puts the most talent on the field. If the LBs keep being injured maybe 4 -1- 6.

I just dropped this into my machine and it tells me that we will beat Maryland 473-0.

No, check that:  474-0.  That seems right.

Graham was so damn athletic when he signed, if he’s as big as advertised and maintained that athleticism, I expect him to start and wreak havoc.

I hope they're of the super firm variety and not real soft.

I still have NCAA2014 for PS3 and get the newest rosters every year and play the shit out of it.

So underrated it’s a travesty.
