Allin our OLine will be the surprise unit on this team,
Starters. Auburn is second in the league. Bama next to last.
Bama has 2 starters returning.
2. Auburn (91): The Tigers actually have 105 returning starts, though guard Alex Kozan (14) is out for the season following back surgery. Auburn is still second anyway, thanks to three-year starters Reese Dismukes (37) at center and Chad Slade (35) at guard. Tackle Patrick Miller (14) is also a returning starter. How well the Tigers replace Kozan and No. 2 overall NFL draft pick Greg Robinson at left tackle could go a long way in determining their chances to repeat.
13. Alabama (36): It says something for the Crimson Tide's ability to recruit and stockpile talent that so few people are worried about the lack of offensive line starting depth on this year's team. Guard Arie Kouandjio and tackle Austin Shepherd are back after starting all 13 games last season, and center Ryan Kelly started nine games in an injury-truncated 2013. Beyond that, the only familiar faces are reserves Leon Brown (1) and Brandon Greene, whose lone career start came at tight end.
