re: bama lost alot on both sides of the ball

Again, by the last quarter of the season he and Ford were totally buried on the depth chart and wouldn't be playing next year even if they had stayed

Ware got a lot of touches (even the last quarter of the season) for someone who was buried on the depth chart.

From what I remember, he was effectively a 3rd down back. They liked to put him if they wanted to throw to the RB.

I'm not saying he or Ford were huge losses. They weren't. Not every one of Bama's contributors was a huge loss either.

ETA: Look at this way. Ware had more than 3 times the receptions of Kelly Johnson who was Bama's starting H-back.
