The running backs are all running hard. Dennis Johnson makes impressive runs after catches every practice it seems. Knile Davis may be the sleeper of the bunch and bring the biggest surprise come fall. Wingo is solid. Green is a load.

Speed on defense is evident. R. Crim at SS should make them seem even faster.

And, yes, you can't always tell good from bad watching practices. The secondary may be taking deep drops while the offense is working on underneath patterns. You see lots of completions and yardage, but it's not representative of real game situations.

I like the feeling of a team on a mission. That's fun.

R. Crim was moved to SS for more overall speed at that position. That more than likely means our CB depth is really improving.

D. Winston has come on this spring and if I. Madison can pick up where he left off from last pre-season before injuring his knee, Crim could very well stay at his new position.

I also heard the RBs are running much harder and consistantly than ever before.

Like Defense Wins Championships was saying, that alone will make the defense better.

On another note, I hope Texas stays right where they are.

The SEC and the Big 12 seem to meet up regularily in the NC game these days.

It we're ever destined to actually play in a NC game under CBP, I would thourghly enjoy beating Texas more than any other opponent I can think of.

Just emagine the headlines reading: HOGS TOP OLD RIVAL HORNS FOR GLORY IN SEASON'S BIGGEST GAME. WPS!!!

Obviously, the offense continue to look excellent. I believe we shall see a vastly improved Mallett if his injury goes not hinder him…after all it is part of his leg supoort that was injured. Mallett's maturidy will show up. I like te Team's attitude….attitude…attitude….attitude is soooooo important and it appears that this team will have a great attitude and on same wave length as their coaches.

Although I saw some fo last Friday's scrimmage, I really do not see how anyone can come away with an analysis as to what will occur in the fall. The match ups in the spring game, play calling, match ups are all "manipulated" to get what the coaches need to see. I always like to see the Defense dominate in spring…coaches know what they need to see and do. All in all I am looking for a dynamite offense and an improved defense.

Our SEC opponents of course have had changes. Better for some and worse for others We shall see how Auburn does with so much internal meddling in their ex-coach and coaching ranks and their high doller allumni will likely get them on NCAA's dog house within 3 years. Does not appear that they have learned their lesson. Some are picking AU to …I do not. I think that it is Arkansas' time to shine. It is bound to all come together this year with their great attitude, work ethic, and good coaching. If they are successful in adding a running game, LOOK OUT SEC! That will even make the defense better all by its self.

Ole Miss will be decent on offense provided they can get their running game going strong. And aanother good QB extablished. However, I look for their Defense of be one of the best in the SEC and if so that could spell trouble even with an immature QB.

NOrmally, teams do well with a seasoned QB. Arkansas appears in the lead for a seasoned QB…but only if our D improves, Razorback should be ub the BCS and maybe even the Championship game if all falls together. The intangibles are so hard to predict but Hogs should be very good.

Anybody hear of Tesas considering coming to the SEC? I saw one suggesting it as a possibility on Bleacher. If so, SEC could kick miss state or Vandy out to make room013.
