The downside: The Tigers were 11th in the SEC in total defense a year ago, and there still is a slight shortage of talent, especially at the linebacker positions. … Just like when he was at UF, Newton is an inconsistent passer at times.
Spring star: Defensive end Antoine Carter was the defensive MVP in the spring game. He has the potential to be a dominant player.
Outlook: Newton put up big numbers in junior college. Now he has to show he can do it against SEC competition. If he does, and the defense improves, the Tigers will be in the hunt in the West.
