We are young and these guys are pretty good. I think next year will be extra special and the best team we have ever seen at Bama and in the nation!

Offense maybe, but Defense will take a step back. Losing some SR ballers.

Looking forward to seeing a great coach and program continue to succeed. I only wish LSU had one quarter of the determination that bama and their administration have when it comes to making their program the best it can be.

I've never said it before, but good luck to you guys.

It will start out with "not your typical Bama team, I see 3-4 losses"

Mid season, "SEC is wide open, anybody can take it"

Late season, "All of college football is down"

End of season "Saban has ruined college football, when the frick will he retire"


It would be easier to just accept now that we are only growing stronger

Defense is suspect. I see 3-4 losses.

It'll be like all his teams.
Very, very good. People need to get this 8-4 shite out of their head. That ain't happening.

Oh, folks will predict it and we'll go 12-0 or 11-1....Again.

Nope. Alabama will finally suffer through a down year and Saban will consider stepping down.

This has been a trendy prediction for the last 5 offseasons, but surely this is the year it happens.

Yes. Next year's team has a chance to be really special.

This year is a rebuilding year.

No, the defense will take a step back. Jonathan Allen, Tim Williams, Reuben Foster, Ryan Anderson and possibly Marlon Humphrey will all be gone next year. They're not going to be the dominant unit as this year's team is.

On the flip side, the offense ought to be improved. We bring back an absurd amount of contributors, and I think another year of polish will do wonders for Hurts.

Defensively, of course, we won't be as solid as this year - but that's an impossible standard to maintain. Regardless, it's still Alabama, and Saban is still the coach. It will be a top 10 unit at least.

Well, many kinda said that our D line wouldn't be as good this year as it was last year. It's definitely not as deep, but it is just as good, if not better with the scheme Pruitt has put in place.

D will be really good, probably not AS good as this year. O will be better. Special teams will be average. Schedule is ok.

I see Saban going to Texas as a special defensive assistant after the down year next year..

The difference In UA and the rest of the SEC, Bama just reloads, UA has got the players too Have a Stingy Defense, And a power house on Offense, 3 in a roll Over AU, Should have been 2 more the Referees cheated Bama out of two games when AU beat UA the refs were allowing AU to have OL 10 to 15 yards down field blocking, Jimbo Fisher seen it He said It should have Been UA playing for the NC, I wonder how much AU pays the Referees,

Wish LSU nothing but success also.

Y'all can make a great hire.From where I'm sitting LSU is a very attractive HC job.

In the modern era,maybe top 5,definitely top 10 HC jobs.

I'm still enjoying this years Team.They are a special group.They are young.
