And one senior who has not broke a sweat. All the starters are gone including the one freshman who won a spot in the spring. . A calamity of bad injury luck and frankly some recruiting fails at the position. Losing your QB gets all the pub but losing your D-line and linebackers is a far bigger issue.

LSU was good enough on offense to have beaten us in any event. And AU dominated UGA in the fourth quarter on both sides of the ball and even at the QB position (Kirby stole one Sat) so we maybe we would have been 10-2 had we been healthy so no excuses.

That many injuries isn't just bad luck. Could be overtraining.

That’s nuts and has got to be frustrating.

I guess I missed it but did they officially announce what happened to Raekwon Davis? It didn’t look great saturday.

Boo hoo

Do you even realize how UGA was ROUTINELY down 15+ scholarship players under CMR? Hell, in the SECCG game in '12 Bama had almost TWENTY more scholarship players on the field.

Bama fans need to take a cue from their Auburn brethren and just fade into the background now. Your relevance is over for this year and nobody cares about your day to day problems.

They should be really good in two years at that position.

This seems to happen to teams Butch Jones hangs out with. We had like 15 offensive and defensive lineman medically retire from football all together during his time here.

It may have something to do with all the extra games and practices Bama has had over the past few years because of the playoffs. Their players are taking more physical abuse than others that don’t have those extra times on the field. It adds up.

Sucks for them this year but will pay huge dividends for them the next few seasons.

Hey jimdog...how has Barmore done for you guys? I remember he was a fairly low rated/unknown DT a year or two ago that we really liked. Seems like his rankings started coming on strong late in the process.
