Two-Deep Predictions

[Censored by Laurie]

Well...now that we know who's here and who's gone...lets start up a solid penalty-kill thread and speculate on what the 2-deep will look like heading to Clemson

QB - Derek Thompson...Nathan Tune

TB - Lance Dunbar...James Hamilton

UB - Micah Mosely...Jeremi Mathis

OWR - Tyler Stradford...B.J. Lewis

OWR - Christopher Bynes...Michael Outlaw

IWR - Jamaal Jackson...Alex Lott

IWR - Darius Carey...Riley Dodge

TE - Jamize Olawale...Connor Gilmartin-Donahue (gotta good feeling about this kid)

LT - Esteban Santiago...Troy Franklin

LG - Kelvin Drake...John Noble

C - J.J. Johnson...Aaron Fortenberry

RG - Coleman Feeley...Jeremy Bean

RT - Victor Gill...Matt Tomlinson

- I don't see too many surprises in starters aside from QB...I think Thompson's added mobility will win him the job by keeping the zone-read as something of a threat. Skill positions look deep...the line is good, but one injury away from being a concern.

DE - Brandon Akpunku...K.C. Obi

DT - Shavod Atkinson...Tevinn Cantly

DT - Kelvin Jackson...Kyle White

DE - Frank Gaines...Brandon McCoy (mark it)

OLB - Jeremy Phillips...Brad Graham

MLB - Craig Robertson...A.J. Penson

OLB - Forlando Johnson...Julian Herron

CB - Royce Hill...Robbie Gordon

CB - Steven Ford...D'Leon McCord

FS - Ira Smith...Ryan Downing

SS - DaWaylon Cook...John Shorter

- I hope someone like Weber or Anyiam or Miller actually starts at DE and AK-47 only plays as a pass rusher...but I doubt it. I think McCoy is going to be a huge surprise. And as much as we've criticized Dodge for not recruiting on the lines, the DL looks pretty deep. Unless Penson or Prior really impress...and considering the depth at OLB...I think a move for Robertson to MLB would be beneficial. Robbie Gordon has a strong senior year.

I think Draylen Ross will have a great year as a TE. He will be a dominant blocker and a red zone threat. Mark it!

The way I see it:

QB - 1.Nathan Tune 2.Derek Thompson

WildcatQB - 1.Riley Dodge 2.Darius Carey

TB - 1.Lance Dunbar 2.James Hamilton

UB - 1.Micah Mosely 2.Jeremi Mathis

OWR - 1.Tyler Stradford 2.Chris Bynes

OWR - 1.Michael Outlaw 2.Bennie Jones

IWR - 1.Jamaal Jackson 2.Alex Lott

IWR - 1.Darius Carey 2.Riley Dodge

TE - 1.Jamize Olawale 2.Draylon Ross

LT - 1.Esteban Santiago 2.Troy Franklin

LG - 1.Kelvin Drake 2.John Noble

C - 1.J.J. Johnson 2.Nick Leppo

RG - 1.Coleman Feeley 2.Jeremy Bean

RT - 1.Victor Gill 2.Matt Tomlinson

DE - 1.Brandon Akpunku 2.K.C. Obi

DT - 1.Shavod Atkinson 2.Tevinn Cantly

DT - 1.Kelvin Jackson 2.Kyle White

DE - 1.Frank Gaines 2.Mike Miller

OLB - 1.Jeremy Phillips 2.Julian Herron

MLB - 1.A.J. Penson 2.Daniel Prior

OLB - 1Craig Robertson 2.Forlando Johnson

CB - 1.Royce Hill 2.Hilbert Jackson

CB - 1.Steven Ford 2.D'Leon McCord

FS - 1.Ira Smith 2.Ryan Downing

SS - 1.DaWaylon Cook 2.Brad Graham

I Wouldn't be surprised if we're losing games early if Dodge goes with Thompson before the bye week.
