SEC Football

SEC fans, college football is less than 2 months away. Whether you're a Gator, Vol, or Georgia Bulldog, it's easy to get excited about the upcoming season. In Gainesville, the national ('scuse me) champs return their entire defense plus Tim Tebow. Most experts predict a ('scuse me again) repeat for the Florida Gators. But, don't sleep on Texas, who retains the services of insanely accurate quarterback, Colt McCoy, or gauntlet of contenders from the likes of Norman Oklahoma and Southern California. Throw into the mix a couple of SEC powers such as the Crimson Tiders, LSU Tigers, and upstart Ole Miss, and this could be one of the most exciting seasons ever.

In Knoxville, uT fans anxiously await the arrival of sensational RB, Bryce Brown. Lame Kiffin may be an idiot, but the dude can definitely recruit. With his daddy overseeing the Tennessee defense, the Vols should continue to make life miserable on opposing offenses. Defensive back Eric Berry is one of the most talented athletes to ever play the game. He will wreak even more havoc in UT's version of the Tampa 2 defense. The biggest question for UT is, who will step up at QB?

In Athens, Mark Richt is embracing life without Matt Stafford and Knowshon Moreno. He believes that this year's squad will actually benefit from their absence. "I think the media, whether we liked it or not, wanted to portray Stafford and Moreno as the team. You couldn't talk about Georgia without talking about Stafford or Moreno. They are great players, but now that those guys are gone, it's much more of a team situation here," Richt said. The '09 Dawgs will be vastly improved in many aspects of the game, if they can remain healthy. All American caliber DT Jeff Owens returns to bolster the UGA defense. On the other side of the ball, former freshman All SEC offensive lineman, Trinton Sturdivant, comes back from injury. Don't be surprised, if the Joe Cox led Bulldogs creep from the shadows and emerge as a BCS contender. This team is very talented, despite losing it's best offensive weapons to the NFL.
