Nothing...oh wait, that's the homer answer.
For Bama, it will be the same thing that kept us from a title this year.... our secondary. It was like playing Madden on rookie. I knew we were in trouble when we were down to Collins (who's not known for his coverage skills), Nick Perry, and Jarrick Williams as our best safety options. Losing Sunseri was surprising, and hurt us badly. Our safeties either seem to be busts or 3 and done.
QB play will also be critical (as it is for every title team). I have no clue what to expect, but we've recruited very well for the last three enrolled classes, so I'm hoping we finally see a Saban team with a first round pick. But we still need to remember who we are as a team, and not forget that we have multiple have star RBs that can gain yards too.

Not even a change at QB?
How do you see this playing out in the fall?
Learning curves are often unavoidable and disastrous in the SEC.

Interior oline? DB recruiting has been great so theoretically someone should step up, another middle LB with coverage skills.

Can you tell Sheffield that, or send him over here on a loan.

I'm not.
That team and coaching staff with a 1st Round QB isn't something I want on my schedule. No offense but I have my fingers crossed for Coker to quickly become The Choker.

A QB, a better O line and some wr's.
For Auburn fans don't underestimate that dreaded Muschamp curse!

Interesting...considering our schedules I guess I can say the same about Florida.
You still the man Korin.

QB.
If Harris steps up and can complete 55% we gonna steam roll. Quite possibly the most explosive backfield in the league next year, line is Solid, D is beyond solid, and best Recieving corp in the SEC next year, easily

Change at QB is not going to hurt Auburn at all, it may even help us. Our shitty defense is what can keep us from winning. The season boils down to how much CWM can improve the defense in year one.

I misread your post. Sorry for flaming.
Defense.
Carl Lawson coming back is a huge deal for us, to put it mildly.
I'm very interested in seeing what Boom does with our D his first year, but he has a long leash with me.
I know we're losing Nick at quarterback, but I sincerely believe JJ's got this. If JJ clicks, we're going to be dangerous...
But, everyone already knew what was stopping Auburn. Defense

Bad QB play, OL health. D should still be solid (really glad Bullard stayed and VH3 is amazing).
