Take a look at what you lose. Hard to replace that much. Not to mention you have an absolute murderous schedule.

That's what they were saying after we lost 3 OL from last year. I agree we lose a lot on defense, but there are some very talented young players waiting their turn. The same can be said for FL, LA, and 2 or three other teams though. I don't think any team will ever dominate this league again as Bama did in the 70s and FL did under Spurrier.

On the other hand, 2010 is a year that many fans had been pointing to as a year when Bama would make their run. The defense will probably take a couple of steps back, but the offense will be a runaway train.
