This season, there aren’t really many surprises as the wealth of returning players in the conference that made an impact last season are staggering.

At the quarterback position on offense, Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall was given the nod under center. Despite having to miss the Media Days following his marijuana citation, after what he accomplished last season in leading the Tigers to the BCS National Championship Game, a lot is expected from the former Georgia safety this year.

Behind him at the running back position are two of the best backs the SEC has seen over the past few years in Alabama’s T.J. Yeldon and Georgia’s Todd Gurley. Both will likely be playing their final seasons in the conference this year before they head off to the NFL, should they choose to do so.

And at the wide receiver position, that’s manned by two rivals in Alabama’s stud speedster Amari Cooper and Auburn’s Sammie Coates, both of whom should once again take the SEC world by storm in 2014.

Here’s a look at the entire first team offense for the SEC 2014 preseason.
