Yes we have played 82 players this year, looks to be around 60 or more returning for next year. Josh D looks to be getting another year. With him, we could have 5 starters on the OL. Too much talent.
Don't think that Bama doesn't have talent waiting in the wings. Saban has recruited well the last few years. However, they will have little experience since he played his reserves sparingly. That's where we will have the advantage next year, experienced returning talent. But Saban will still field a good team. But theymay drop down to where we were 2 years ago (3 or 4 losses).
Richardson-gone, dropoff at RB. The two WR and starting TE-gone, big dropoff there. Defense-too many gone, major dropoff. Can't spell roll without two "L's". You'll get your second L on the 9th. Next year in Tiger Stadium gonna be a great one, get ready........:tigereye:
