    Williford will return at some point. Hurst probably will not. Our depth right now are some big, strong boys with no game experience. A couple will likely be called on to play at some point in the season. Then it is just a matter of how quick they catch on to stunting, shifting deceptive SEC defenses . . . and how soon they mesh with the other linemen because it is damn sure a team game on the offensive line.

    if they keep playing like they did last week, then maybe it was for the better that they young guys have been forced to move up. they may simply be better, just less experienced.

    Being hungrier can supersede similar talent. These young bucks have proven hungrier on both sides of the ball.

    They can also be exploited for lack of experience and the Bama defense is one that can do it. They will give up some hurries and sacks.
