Milliner was a Fr All American in '10. That wasn't mediocre. I thought kirkpatrick and menzie were the starting corners last year?
Milliner and Menzie did what Nico and Mosley did and switched sometimes. Menzie usually started at LCB, but Milliner would come in sometimes even in base.
Plus we were in Nickel a LOT. Milliner played almost as many snaps as Menzie.
You're looking at their stats like they didn't play. They played in garbage time mostly. Despite leading by so much, we didn't always take out the first team D because Nick didn't want anyone moving the ball on us. It wasn't that the second team was bad, it was just the first team was more of a proven group to get the job done.
Milliner was our most targeted CB last year, and it wasn't even close. He led the team in INTs and locked down everyone he played. Against Greg Childs and Da'Rick Rogers (Rodgers?) he only really let them beat him once, and they were quick slant ins, the easy route against man coverage.
Williams, Square, Dial, Stinson, Ivory, all had playing time last year. Hell, Ivory started against GSU, but he wasn't ready to, it is one of the main reasons we had trouble with the dive.

Slow down there cowboy. I didn't say anything bad about milliner. I'm the one that said he was a Fr All American. You said that season was so-so. He started every game in '10.
Ask most bama fans who their starting corners were last year and they will say kirkpatrick and menzie. Then they might add the milliner was the starting nickle back.
Those LBs played no doubt about it. It's just that they didn't get the experience that you claim, at least not against SEC competition. Or were that productive when they were in there.
Bama has four experienced D-linemen but, Dial is only in his second year at bama and he really didn't play a whole hell of a lot of defense last year. Ivory, give me a break.
