I think we'll be a significantly better team

I really, really agree. Our bench play showed a lot of promise.

I'm hoping this equates to the 2008 football season, when Saban was in his second year. That team was full of lovable (and leftover) upperclassmen that found a way to have a special season, but couldn't overcome the bright lights in the SEC Championship against Florida, and fell apart in the postseason.

But we all know what that 2008 season propelled the program towards, starting the next year and beyond.

Sorry for the football reference, but I just can't get the comparison out of my head. Probably crimson-colored glasses at this point, but I'm just as excited for next year as I was going into this one.
