Bama played this last game without their top 5 leading catchers from last year (Maze,Smelley,Richardson,Hanks and Bell)and the the rest of the season without the top 4. This year's passing game has broke all kinds of records (most TD's in a season and AJ is currently 1st nationally in pass rat)
Theres a chance AJ leaves, but it's not likely.12 of the 15 players that have caught passes this year will be back (Williams,Johnson and likely Lacy leave)and all 4 top wr's return.Both backup QB's will return and redshirt freshmen Alec Morris and two true freshmen QB's enter the mix. Chris Black,OJ Howard,Mcneil,Falkins and potentially Rob Foster/others enter the picture as well.
The Oline wont be as good, but next years pass game could be very special.

I think it will be very impressive next year with virtually everyone back. We lose Michael Williams at TE but add two dynamic athletes at he position in the 2013 signing class. I also think Brian Vogler and Harrison Jones will continue to develop there. We just need the new OL to gel.

The Oline is the sole concern I have about the offense next year. Unfortunately, that is a big concern. I feel confident in Cyko and Steen, and I think Arie is pretty good as well. Either Arie or Steen will have to move to left guard. I have no idea how capable Austin Sheppard, Kellen Williams, or Ryan Kelly are.
ETA: The success of the passing game in our offense is tremendously helped by the strength of the running game. If the Oline is not able to be as powerful next year, I would prepare for an overall dip in the offense.

We've had tough, physical OL's since 2008. I expect that to continue next year.
