Every team in the league has problems. If you don’t believe it, just listen to the coaches talk about all the areas in which their teams could be better during SEC Media Days this week.

But some team’s problems are more glaring than others, and some draw more media and fan scrutiny — especially if the team has a chance to do something special if that issue is resolved.

Let’s take a look at some of the SEC’s position groups that will be under the most scrutiny this season:

LSU’s quarterbacks

This has been the SEC’s most scrutinized positions for years. The prevailing opinion is that the Tigers are a good quarterback away from a potential SEC championship. LSU is loaded on defense, features one of the most talented running backs in the country and, on paper, has a better than average set of receivers. So why did this team struggle to an 8-5 finish last season? Inconsistent quarterback play. Brandon Harris is likely to get the first crack at the starting job this season, and every snap he takes will be under scrutiny from the Tigers faithful.

Alabama’s secondary

The standard for Alabama’s defensive performance has reached absurd levels in the Nick Saban era. The fact that it has been noted that the Crimson Tide has slipped from first to fifth to 12th in total yards allowed in the last three years probably illustrates that best. While the Alabama defense still is among the elite in spite of the nitpicking, there may be some legitimate concern surrounding the drop-off in the success of the team’s pass defense last season. The Crimson Tide finished 58th in FBS against the pass in 2014, allowing 226 yards per game. The Alabama secondary was exposed as vulnerable in late season games with Auburn and Ohio State, leaving fans and analysts alike to wonder if this season will be more of the same. Expect plenty of attention on this group in 2015.

Tennessee’s offensive line

Anytime your offensive line allows 43 sacks in a season, it is cause for concern and a valid reason for external scrutiny. But with the heightened expectations for the Vols in the SEC East this season, there will be an added pressure on the offensive line to produce better results this season. Tennessee will have a more experienced group (covered more extensively here), and Vols faithful hope that turns into better results. Talented freshmen such as Jack Jones and Drew Richmond at a minimum should help resolve depth issues. If Tennessee isn’t able to move the football early in the season, expect plenty of debate about the effectiveness of the big uglies up front.

Florida’s quarterbacks

New coach Jim McElwain has plenty of work to do to bring level of play on the Gators offense back to a level at which they can compete for SEC championships again. Though much of the concern in Year 1 for the coaching staff will be about filling holes on an offensive line that returns just one starter, the quarterback position is more likely to receive external scrutiny. Treon Harris, who displaced an ineffective Jeff Driskel from the starting role last season, will battle redshirt freshman Will Grier for the starting job. While Grier may hold a slight edge entering fall camp, there has been talk of using two quarterback to utilize Harris’ running ability. It is a situation set up for second-guessing, criticism and division among the fan base if things don’t go well.

The entire Auburn defense

To narrow the area of scrutiny down to just one unit here would not be fair to the others. Each of the Tigers defensive units will be under the microscope with new defensive coordinator Will Muschamp in charge. Fans and media alike are expecting Muschamp to work miracles with a defense that allowed at least 31 points in each of its final seven games against FBS opponents last season. The pressure will be immediate due to Muschamp’s reputation, his sizeable contract and the likelihood that the offense will be of the SEC’s elite. Of course, it’s just as likely that Muschamp could bring the scrutiny upon the defense himself if the results are not to his liking.
