re: Can anyone in the SEC challenge Alabama next year?

We lose some key players on defense. If we can replace them then we can be pretty good. If not then we could struggle.

You have high attrition on your defense and if you look at USC where they just "reload" their defense had a massive drop off from last year to this year.

On a good note Bama's offense will improve next year but the defense will drop off and the schedule gets extremely difficult.
