It might get ugly for them when you factor in a below average receiving core and O-line

LaNorris Sellers heads into the spring as the top option to replace Spencer Rattler. Sellers has all the physical tools to be an elite quarterback in the SEC. The main question is will he live up to his potential? If so, what does his development timeline look like? There are plenty of questions at quarterback, but talent and potential is not an issue.

RUSHING:
199 Attempts. 927 Yards. 4.6 YPC. 12 Touchdowns.
Similar to Sellers, Robby Ashford has plenty of potential. However, Ashford has experience and is what he is at this point. He is a strong scrambler with a big arm. That being said, accuracy needs work and perhaps offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains can assist in that area either through play-calling, mechanics, or simplifying the gameplan.

Dante Reno may not have the scrambling ability of the other scholarship quarterbacks on the roster, but what he does bring is an accurate arm and maturity. Reno struggled in the All-Star games when he did not have much time to pass. In individual drills and against limited pass rush, Reno excelled. By no means is the depth chart set in stone, but if Reno sees significant action as a freshman, it probably means the season is not heading in the right direction.

RUSHING:
82 Attempts. 173 Yards. 2 Touchdowns.
At this point in his career, Luke Doty would be considered the emergency quarterback. The staff wants Doty on the field and the best route of that happening is at receiver. If the season begins to go awry and the other quarterbacks are not getting the job done, Doty may be flipped back to quarterback full time.
