2006 OFFENSE

BEST PLAYER: Kory Lichtensteiger

TOP NEWCOMERS: RB Dan Macon / QB Anthony Turner

STRENGTH: The RBs may not be as deep as a year ago, but redshirt junior Dan Macon has size to match the fact he is the fastest player on the team; Depth at WR, this group could surprise some people; The best unit on offense will be the OL, two-time All-MAC guard Kory Lichtensteiger moves over to the crucial center position where he will make the line calls.

CONCERN: None of the current QBs replacing Omar Jacobs have played a significant amount of time, projected starter Anthony Turner closely resembles former QB Josh Harris as he did manage to rack up 170 rushing yards last season; All of the TEs are unproven; The skill positions have talent but lack experience.

2006 DEFENSE

BEST PLAYER: DE Devon Parks

TOP NEWCOMER: DE Diyral Briggs

STRENGTH: The DL is smaller but much faster and should be more disruptive; DEs Briggs and Parks should add a pass rush dimension; CB Antonio Smith earned All-Freshman honors last season and gives the Falcons a solid cover man, he may be the best player on defense.

CONCERN: The LBs were hit hard with graduation, the nation's 86th ranked rushing defense will have the task of trying to improve with some young faces in the lineup; The front seven will have to counter with speed as size is an issue; The secondary will put their future at the hands of underclassmen, this group could have difficulties if a pass rush cannot be found.

2006 SPECIAL TEAMS

KICKER
The kicking position has deteriorated to some degree and needs an overhaul. No one on this 2006 team has attempted a kick yet. Incoming freshman Sean Ellis had some great success at the high school level in the state of Florida and will be given first shot. He also is the likely candidate to handle kickoffs.

PUNTER
Another incoming freshman from the state of Florida will have to handle punting duties. Alonso Rojas was rated the nation's No. 1 punter by Scout.com. He averaged 46 yards per kick while helping his high school team from Miami win a state title.
