This could be fun for a slow time on the board. My ranking of our games in order of toughness are:

1. Arkansas- I know their defense is still suspect, but we humiliated Mallett a season ago, and I'm sure he's aching for revenge. It is early enough in the season that we may not have all the kinks in our secondary ironed out.

2. Florida- It is at home, but this will be the most talented opponent that we face during the regular season. I'm sure they'd like a little revenge as well.

3. Penn State- Talent wise we are better, and they will have a new qb, but I'm sure that Joe Pa will have them well prepared.

4. LSU-because it is down there, they still hate Saban, and they have a lot of talent on defense they will get after us physically

5. South Carolina - This is the most talent they've had in a while. Ellis Johnson's D will be formidable. Garcia has a solid season under his belt. It will be tough up there, especially since it is right after Florida.

6. Auburn - I'm sure they will come to Tuscaloosa extremely pumped up, as there is no one they'd rather beat. They won't catch us by surprise this time, and we'll keep their defense on the field.

7. Tennessee - It is in Knoxville, and it is Tennessee, but with the turmoil that came with Kiffin's sudden departure and much of Fulmer's last good recruiting class leaving the scene, this will be a tough year for the Vols.

8. Ole Miss - My biggest concern about the Rebels this year is that Nutt's teams seem to play their best when little is expected of them.

9. Miss. State - Mullen has a lot of ground to make up talent wise.

10. Duke - Even up there, even with Bama grad Cutcliff at the helm, the Blue Devils don't have anywhere near enough to make this a game.

11. San Jose State - This will be the shakedown cruise for the 2010 team. No reason to think there will be any difficulties.

12. Georgia State - I know Bill Curry used to be our HC, but they are a brand new program in a lower classification. I still don't understand why we agreed to play them. We'll beat them as badly as we wish.

Far as the Hogs are concerned...long as our D can contain mallet and push the pocket....hit him like they did McCoy...i'm not so worried.
Seconday will have planety of time to get coached up over fall camp. Your forgetting who's the G/A back there. lol i have belief that come kick off time against Penn State, he'll have them going well enough that that will be the least of our worries. I have it on good Authority that Millner says he wan't to make a big impact. (Remember, i know Carl Millner from working with him.)
