It will be the greatest offense ever, and Hurts, Scarbrough, and Ridley will jointly share the Heisman.

They've always had skilled players, I'm talking about who's captaining the ship

Considering the QB, best WR, all RBs, much of the O-line returns............anything other than a slight uptick would be a pretty big disappointment.

Good enough to create holes for the four-headed battering ram that will be our running game.

Its hard to say because the whole entire staff is fairly new. New OC, New WRs coach, and New OLine coach. We all know the talent is there but I think it will take a few games to mesh being that Daboll and Kiffin/sark don't have the same offense or verbage.

Well, if Blake Sims can lead them to the playoffs and Jake Coker win a national title for them, that might not be too far off.

DaBoll is the greatest offensive mind college football has ever seen.

I can't wait until some Bama fan posts the mural of him in that beer joint in Tuscaloosa.

We don't know. I suspect it will be more pro style, yet using Hurts' legs some too, like we did with Blake Sims.

Should be pretty easy since we've already got his dimensions down pat

Watch the highlights of their Spring Game on YouTube. 3 receiver set as their base formation. 5 routes every pass play with TE and RB as well. It doesn't look like the same offense at all.

Then again it's a Spring Game and we will have to see what happens in real games.

I think it will be a simplied version of the Patriots general power shutgun scheme with a lot of stuff from their brief stint with Brissett at QB.

Lot of tight end stuff. Lot of bunches.

Well Bama as a team average beating the SEC teams they played 24.88 points a game last year, I think
it will be more like 28 points a game this year... Y'all need to step it up.

I think this will be Saban's weakest team in recent memory. Hurts just isn't impressive to me when I watch him.

I just think he is a lackluster QB with great running ability. With a year of tape, teams should be able to matchup with him a little better.

They're losing quite a bit on D, but they are still a top 15 D imo.
