We are gonna be awful young on the OL.

That's a position that guys sort of grow into. A couple of years in the weight room and time to learn technique and scheme is required for most guys. I guess I'm not overly concerned about it but it might be an issue.
LT: Jr. Cam Robinson. Has not played up to potential. Lots of experience though.
LG. Fr. Lester Cotton. Young and unproven.
C. So. Ross Pierchbaker. One year starter but playing new position.
RG. ??? We may still end up with an upperclassmen here in Shank or Bozeman but there is talk about youngster Brandon Kennedy.
RT. Fr. Jonah Williams. Huge potential but he's a first year guy.
That's a lot of youth. Lot of talent and potential too but the youth is concerning. Next year will be a beastly line even without Cam but how do think these young guys fare against the best d-lines in the country?

at least we have an experienced QB

Lester is a sophomore

I wouldn't say Robinson hasn't lived up to potential. On the field he's been really good. Saban has spoken very highly of Pierschbacher at center. But yeah, this is definitely my primary area of concern. They looked abysmal at A-Day. Thankfully they won't be facing any other defensive lines as good as their own, but it still is worrisome.

Robinson didn't play on A-Day.
This O-line will be Bama's best since 12.

Another way of looking at it is this a group that, with the exception of Cam, can play together for 3 years.

They'll be alright. Look who they're practicing against...

They do practice against the best.

We will be young but only because we have a couple of really talented youngsters. This line will be ridiculous the next few years.

That O-Line will go down as one of the best in college football history.

Way not concerned about the OL. Very deep and competitive at OL with much more talent than most.
The fate of this team once again will be on finding a QB, and staying healthy on the DL. Everything else is loaded.
Especially with the secondary going from a deficit to a huge plus, and the addition of Pruitt. Just need a QB. So sick of having a ? at QB. Thank goodness the BB8, Hurts, Tua age is arriving soon. (hopefully this year)

They'll look bad in game 2 like they always do, and everyone on here will be freaking out as usual, and then they'll tighten up and end up being really good.

I'm excited to see what Brent key can do.

I think Cam, Cotton, and Piersh could be dominant...the questions are once agiain on the right side. Jonah is going to be a monster but like any TF is going to have growth pains. Shank seems to have his head up his butt so that leaves that spot wide open. I could see them becoming an elite unit by mid season.
