The Tennessee Vols will be rebuilding on offense again after losing Tyler Bray, Justin Hunter and Cordarelle Patterson. The reason they are included on this list is because the Bulldogs have to travel to Neyland Stadium where a capacity crowd fits over 102,000. Knoxville is never an easy place to play, and this year will be no different.
The LSU Tigers will return with an ever present stifling defense for the 2013 season; the real question is whether or not they will bring a true offensive attack. Many LSU players departed early for the draft, but as always they are still loaded with talent. They will also be looking to prove something after losing to Clemson at the end of the 2012 season.
The Bulldogs have beat the Florida Gators two years in a row now, and Will Muschamp has made a promise that the streak won't last long. The Gators looked almost perfect last year with one slip up against UGA before they forgot to show up in the Sugar Bowl against the Louisville Cardinals.
The Clemson Tigers are the first game of the year, and it's an away game so the Bulldogs will have to be ready out of the gate as the Tigers almost assuredly will bring top ten talent to the table. Returning quarterback Tahj Boyd led his team to a victory over the LSU Tigers in the Chick-fil-a Bowl to finish the 2012 season at 11-2 and 7-1 in the ACC.
The South Carolina Gamecocks have put the Bulldogs in their place for the last three years, and this year they are the toughest game the Bulldogs face because of the mental aspect that comes with a losing streak. Jadeveon Clowney has made the Bulldogs' tackles look silly over his short career, and this year the Bulldogs will be counting on former five star John Theus to slow Clowney enough for Murray to make his reads.
