the offense has legit potential and quite likely to be best ever in Saban era. As long as Saban keeps the egos in check, the offense will more than make up for any fall-off by the defense. Your team is hereby warned. I can see Bama losing two games first 2/3 of season appox., but should make the SEC title game, and the winner of the SEC will be a final four 99% certainty. So Bama could lose to FSU and take your pick. A close loss to FSU and Bama still easily a top 5 team, a later loss to SEC opponent still in top 10-12, bit a late surge and winning SEC title game, back in the top 4.

The defense will still be tops in the conference as usual.

Based on what?

Hurts and offensive line will have to come a long way. Bama needs to find a HB who can carry the load. We know nothing about Daboll either.

Eh, worst RBs since 07.

Most dynamic QB, but probably not the best QB play.

Maybe no superstars but this RB group has absurd depth

That must hurt AU fans knowing that Bama still has a better RB unit

Based on Cecil Hurt, you got any better insight or info? He says the talent level on offense across the board best ever. There are always questions and concerns.

Scarbrough is a DE and all your backups are apparently worse than scout team.

Well they kicked Auburn's arse for the 3rd year in a row. And as bad as Hurts was as a passer, he made your shitty Steele defense look like hot garbage.

30-12

Couldn't even run for an average of 2 yards vs Alabama. Kam is an overweight shitty back that puts up big numbers vs inferior opponents.

I could've done that against Washington's defense. How'd he do against actual defenses?
