Questions for Spring Practice

Some serious and not so serious questions as the Noles begin Spring practice:

1.Who is going to be the starting quarterback?

Who will step up in Spring practice for the starting QB position? New Offensive Coordinator Jimbo Fisher molded JaMarcus Russell into the top pick in the NFL Draft. Now that he has taken over the play calling in Tallahassee, Fisher will have to decide between two talented but still raw QBs in Drew Weatherford and Xavier Lee. It wil be interesting to see if Xavier Lee will truly compete for the starting job. And what wil be Bobby's opinion?

2. Can Antone Smith be the top back?

Now that Lorenzo Booker is gone, it is now time for Antone Smith to show what kind of back he can be. He will have competition with Marcus Sims, Edwards, and Ball. The competition could be very exciting.

3. Will the defense fall off after losing key players?

Buster Davis and Lawrence Timmons are gone but the Noles have talent although the experience may be lacking. Mickey Andrews seems to be able to mold a top defensive unit year in and year out.

4. Will Jeff Bowden be in the tower with his Dad?

Will we see Jeff side by side with Bobby overlooking Spring practices? Let's hope not. Unless he is bringing Bobby something to drink.

5.Will Chuck Amato be styling?

Will Chuck "The Chest" wear color-coordinated sunglasses and shoes as he did at NC State? He could add some color to the practices.
