Does anyone know this number off hand? Some I can think of:
Brailsford
Bernard
R Williams
LT Overton (I think he starts?)
Nicholson
Mbakwe/Adams (returns)
Russaw (I think he starts?)

I have no idea about the secondary TBH

We just need to be prepared for the inevitable, “DeBoer is just winning with Saban’s players” diatribe from the Rant crowd.

Where’s the fun in that?! Ha. If we didn’t like arguing with idiots, we probably wouldn’t be on message boards.

You’re telling me this fraud won the Groza award last year over Reichard? He’s been horrible since he got to the capstone.

I bet Burnip will average 60 yds a punt and not win the Ray Guy award for some odd reason.

He's only kicked once. It was a bad miss, but that's not much of a sample size.

For years the narrative was Saban would be too stubborn to hang it up at the right time, and we’d be FSU at the end of the Bowden era.

You'd just have to remind them that both of their most recent national titles were due to players recruited by a coach no longer on staff.

Beyond that, this is a completely different time. Players can transfer at will now and there is major money going around in an attempt to get them to do so. There is no such thing as "Saban's players" on our team. DeBoer's staff had to convince every single guy playing to either come here or stay here.

And before that, it was "the SEC is down which is the only reason he's winning."

And before that it was, "he won't last six years at Bama."

And before that it was, "he's an above average coach who had one lucky season at LSU. He'll never win anything of value at Bama and Tuberville/Miles will run him out of the conference."

Now it's, "Deboer can't recruit."

The same crowd said Saban was winning with Shula players in 2008. Now THAT made me laugh my dick off.

I've already asked the SECr tards how they are going to prevent twisting themselves into logical pretzels. When Saban retired, "Hahahaha!!! All the rats are jumping off the sinking ship! Bama won't have a team left!!!" As soon as we make it in the playoffs, "Well, CKD just did it with Nick's players!" Can't wait.

I like the “we’ve only attempted one field goal in three games” stat. I did not realize that.

Didn't he also miss some in the scrimmages as well?

Am I crazy? I thought he had missed more than just 1
