re: Here's what SEC coaches are saying about Alabama ... anonymously

"They only have to replace four starters on offense, but three of those have been so huge to the program's success -- quarterback Greg McElroy, running back Mark Ingram and wide receiver Julio Jones."

"I know Ingram won the Heisman and Jones had the capability of scoring every time he touched the football, but I think the one they'll miss the most out of those three is McElroy. The kid was brilliant and just a flat-out winner. He might not have been the strongest, fastest or have the best arm, but he was such a tremendous leader."

Trent Richardson and Eddie Lacy will be just as productive, or more, than Ingram. Also Marquis Maze will fill in nicely for Jones.
