re: Rationale Bama fans: how many starters do you bring back?

I think we have a chance to be better. The receivers go from a big question mark to a team strength. Three starters return on the OLine and we could be as good or better.

There is game experience at QB and young talent and we just have to see how that pans out. We do need players to step up at RB but if Scarborough realizes his potential we should be fine.

The defense will have a lot of experience and the secondary goes from a big question to a solid contributor. Both specialists are back but we will have to have newcomers step in at PR and KR , we will miss Cyrus Jones and Kenyon Drake.

This team has a chance to be just as good as last year, and maybe even better if we get good QB play. Should that happen there won't be any more loading the box with everyone but the mascot, teams will have to play us honest. It turns out it didn't work for Michigan State and Clemson all that well.
