SEC West Preview.

CFN

West
Alabama
Spring Practice Begins: March 12 Game: April 17

The early spring buzz: With all the turnover and all the concerns in several areas, one plus is at linebacker where Dont?a Hightower is back from a bad knee injury and should provide a talented playmaker to help ease the loss of Rolando McClain. Also healed up is quarterback Greg McElroy after rib problems he played through in the national championship. Overall, the team is taking on the swagger and the attitude of a national champion, and while no one?s assuming it?s a foregone conclusion that a national title is on its way in the next few years, it really is a BCS Championship or Bust mindset for a team this good. Last year appears to be just the beginning, and it?s a slight departure from last year when the team was focused on coming out roaring.

The big spring question is ? How can the offense get Julio Jones the ball? ...

Arkansas
Spring Practice Begins: March 30 Game: April 24

The early spring buzz: All eyes will be on the passing game to see how it progresses and how it improves now that the receiving corps, with all the key parts back, has had a year to figure out what it?s doing and with QB Ryan Mallett choosing to stick around for another year. The big story throughout the spring will be new offensive coordinator Kris Cinkovich who?ll replace Paul Petrino (who left for Illinois). However, Mallett won?t be around for spring ball as he recovers from a broken foot, who this will be a time for Tyler Wilson to show that he could be the main man for 2011.

The big spring question is ? Will the defense show up this season? ...

Auburn
Spring Practice Begins: March 22 Game: April 17

The early spring buzz: For all the questions about a good Auburn team that?s coming off a nice rebound season in Gene Chizik?s first go-round, the main topic of Tiger conversation always lead back to one thing: Alabama. The Tigers have work to do in the offensive backfield and need to be far more consistent overall, but the Tide?s national championship and the new status as college football?s standard-bearer has only turned up the pressure in Auburn that much more. It?s one thing for Florida or LSU to want to win the SEC title, but it?s another for Auburn to have to sit back and groove on the Tide?s national title. Needless to say, it?s been a rough few months for the fan base.

The big spring question is ? Can the defense produce, and more importantly, can Chizik actually coach? ...

LSU
Spring Practice Begins: February 26 Game: March 27

The early spring buzz: The team is looking good. The defense has been fantastic so far even with so many new faces in key spots. Head coach Les Miles has been praising the tackling and the physical play of the group. There have been a few problems with all the flying around, though, as center T-Bob Hebert broke his leg and will have to spend the next several months getting healthy to be ready for the start of the year. Overall, though, the team has been playing well early on in spring ball and the reviews have been solid. For the most part the athleticism is coming through and the health is allowing the coaching staff to work on several things.

The big spring question is ? will the line play be any better? ...

Ole Miss
Spring Practice Begins: March 17 Game: April 17

The early spring buzz: Since last year didn?t work out as planned, the team needs to undergo a major overhaul. 2009 wasn?t a complete disaster, but now there won?t be the expectations to deal with and there are several major changes to be made across the board starting with the offense. Longtime coach Dave Rader is still a big name with a great r?sum?, and he has a big wad of clay to mold. It?s going to be a fun offseason with all the changes and all the new faces, but the athleticism and young talent are there.

The big spring question is ? if the offense can stop giving the ball away. ...

Miss State
Spring Practice Begins: March 23 Game: April 17

The early spring buzz: The big news story for the program happened away from the field as athletic director Greg Byrne is leaving to be the AD at Arizona. So how does this affect the football team? It?s not that big a deal considering Dan Mullen was the key hire last year and is expected to be around for a while. On the field, the excitement is high after the Bulldogs closed out last season with a thumping of Ole Miss and after leading the SEC in rushing.

The big spring question is ? will there be any semblance of a passing game? ...

Um, JaMarcus Russell is a bad example, seeing as he has epically failed in the NFL. When a University of Toledo product outplays you in the same offense...you suck.

And as far as the other guy, still wasn't a well developed QB. Being the MVP of a specific event means you had a good game, that is all.

Les Miles is an idiot, not worthless, just an idiot. No one cares that his team took 'Bama into OT.

Vols Sr. QB Nick ("Pick-Nick") Stephens is transferring, so the 6'0" Matt Simms has the weight of the world on his shoulders. Simms better stay healthy, as they only have a so-so true Freshman in the wings. I'd bet some Southern Central Tech State QB transfers before the first kickoff.

If you have nothing more to add to an OSU site than the typical mouth-breathing, 8th grade intelligence level comments like "The SEC is such a great conference," and "Best in the land pimp," then perhaps this website isn't the place for you.

Certainly, he wasn't adding the kind of depth and breadth of analysis that your smiley face provided.

Last I checked the SEC was doing very well. Your laughing at an SEC fan wanting the football season to get here - in the SEC thread - should be expected to get the sort of response it got.
