re: SEC teams, better, same or worse next year?

OL - same if both Joeckel and Matthews stay, slightly worse if one leaves, worse if both leave

Joeckel is gone. Matthews is a maybe.

For Alabama, it is very tough to say. On offense we will lose Jones, Warmack, likely Fluker, and maybe Lacy but return everyone else. On defense, we lose Dial, Williams, Square, Mosley, Johnson, Lester, and Milliner. That is a lot to replace on the defensive side of the ball.

If Fluker stays (unlikely), I think we have the potential to be better on offense. On defense, we lose a good bit, but there are some guys that are right behind them that are ready to step up. The leadership we lose on the offensive line and defense will be tough to handle.

Overall, I see us as being about the same as this year with the possibility of being better if Fluker stays.
