Only a bama fan would say an O-line returning ONLY TWO STARTERS would be one of the best in the nation.

Were they both all americans last year? They must have been no less than 1st team all sec for you to make such a statement.

You do realize Alabama had to replace three offensive linemen when they won the SEC and National Championship. They had to replace Marlon Davis, Andre Smith, and Antoine Caldwell. That's a center, guard, and left tackle.

Alabama is actually in a better situation for 2013 than they were in 2009. They already have a good idea of who the starting LG and C will be with Arie Kouandjio and Ryan Kelly. The talent level is better and a the backups got plenty of experience this season due to blow out wins.

CyKo is widely considered a first round pick if he were to leave after his Junior season, and Steen is a top 20 Guard right now. Ryan Kelly made the Freshman All-SEC team, and Fluker could stay, but even if he didn't experienced backup Austin Shepherd would battle JUCO transfer Leon Brown and beast of a man Brandon Hill for the job. Potentially Laremy Tunsil as well.
