I know a lot of people have questions about our QB situation, but our RBs and defense will carry us to at least 10 wins.

Sims or Coker will have to make some throws to win a close game and I think they will with our WRs.

We go 12-0 in the regular season. We pound the rock in the SECCG and the semifinal game. Both wins.

To win the Championship Game we have to be clicking on all facets. I won't make a prediction at this time because I don't know who we'll play.

Roll Tide.

We have the depth to go all the way, they just have to have the will. All we need to do is keep the turnovers at an all time low and we are good.

I think the motivation is there just like in 2009 and 2011.

We need about 170 yards passing per game (assuming our run game is clicking) to win. Coop, Jones, White and Foster are good for that.

Defense will be salty as frick.

Kicking game could be a problem but reports out of camp are positive.

The game in Baton Rouge will be a war, but they have just as must question marks as us.

Ole Miss may pose a threat but they haven't proven jack shite yet.

A repeat of 2009 is not out of the question.

I'm optimistic tonight.

When I wake up sober tomorrow I'll change my prediction to 10-2. Maybe.

I seriously don't know that anyone can stop our running game. 3rd and short and Henry is impossible to tackle, 3rd and long and Drake is impossible to get your hands on as a runner or receiver. I see Coop getting some runs too, like he had against Auburn on the endaround.

I like our chances if we pound Ingram and Robinson more.

We can with mediocre game manager QB play. But we will have to have a more dominant line to lean on. So far the word has been "not physical enough". We will see soon if that is coach speak or reality.

I'm so pumped for both Alabama and the Saints seasons that I could run through a fricking brick wall right now.

Remember, before the scrimmage Saban said he liked the physicality of the OL. Then the scrimmage was not physical. Saban did mention that we were missing Brown, Dom, and Vogler. Three of our more physical blockers.

Kelly and Shep are solid, but no one will confuse them for being physical. They're smart and excel in pass pro.


Arie can be physical...if he gets his hands on the guy he's supposed to block.

What I like, is on the off chance we go 15-0, you have to love our chances at doing the same in 2015. That 2015 team is just so damn stacked with experience and talent.

The only legit probability for a loss for us that I see is AU. It's fantastic we get them at home because JH is tough as hell to win in. I don't think LSU has the O this year to hang with us. OM is still OM and Saban should coach circles around Freeze. MSU looks tough on paper but I don't think there Oline will be good enough for them to beat us. Our D should be able to control the line of scrimmage enough for us to win that game. UT sucks arse and we will go in dry. Same with Arky. WVU ain't shite. Their scheme on O concerns me a bit, especially for the first game, but we win. I don't get the hype for UF. I don't have the confidence in their O that a lot of people seem to be pulling from thin air.

We need our Qbs not to be turnover machines. We need our Dline to help bail out a young secondary by getting to the QB without giving them all day to throw. Also we need our Oline to be consistent and play as a unit. If someone is struggling we need to be able to pick up the slack with the guys around him. Oline is my biggest concered for this team. Once they gel we will absolutely be one of the best teams in football in the nation.

I can't wait for this season. Our schedule sets up nicely for a deep run. I like this team a lot, next year should be even better.

Roll Tide

I think this new playoff makes things more wide open than ever, but if you were going to pick a favorite it would have to be Alabama.

Well I mean when you have the #1 recruiting class every year how can you not be the favorite?

We still have a ton of question marks imo. I'm someone who really needs to see a team play a few games before I can really grasp how good they can be.

I'm very pessimistic when it comes to my team's
