The Florida Gators should have one of the best and most well rounded special teams units in the country in 2008, with the only question mark at the kicker position. Return specialist Brandon James will be a nightmare for opposing teams and punter Chaz Henry has one of the strongest legs in the nation.

True freshman Caleb Sturgis is expected to be a great kicker for Florida, but looked shaky during spring practice.

The return game for the Gators should once again be lethal in 2008, behind speedster Brandon James. James made a living running back punts and kickoffs last year and he should show more of the same ability this year.

Auburn: The Tigers most glaring weakness in their receving core. Their returning leading reciever is Senior Montez Billings who had just 321 yards and 1 TD last season. This year, as most of us know, Auburn will be running a new offense, the spread. A big part of the spread is throwing the ball even if it is a run first scheme. Take a look at Florida, Missouri, and Oregon, for example. In a spread offense you will usually have 3, 4, or 5 recievers on the field at all times. Hopefully, for Auburn fans someone will step up.

Florida was supposed to enter the 2008 season fairly comfortable at the safety position. Sophomore Major Wright returns to lead what should be a pretty solid unit, capable of producing some big plays. Wright was supposed to be joined by senior Dorian Munroe, but Munroe went down with an ACL injury during the summer and will miss the 2008 season.

Wright will be the hard-hitting, smash-mouth anchor of the unit and his play-making ability was one of the few positives for the Gator secondary last season.

Wright made play after play last year, forcing fumbles at critical junctures and even showing some good instinct against the pass and coming up with an interception or two. If he continues to improve, he could be one of the best safeties in the SEC next year.
