The biggest thing about Fitz is he is going to turn the ball over more than Dak- who very rarely turned it over so I'm not saying Fitz has a problem it's just who he is compared to. I don't think we can expect Fitz to be as effective a runner as Dak. I'm not saying that Fitz is bad, slow, or etc. Just that I don't expect him to be as productive as Dak running the ball.

I'm not expecting us to be fourth in the SEC this year. I'm expecting middle of the pack or lower half.
I'd flip your thinking on Fitz - he will be an effective runner and wouldn't be surprised to see him leading the team in rushing. It's the performance in the passing game that could see the drop off. That's not to say he has a weak arm, or can't make throws, but he won't have consistency in decision making and the confidence in his receivers that Dak had the last 2 years. Think Dak 2013.
