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

I think posters are looking at a talent/skill drop off and that is not the case. The guys mentioned were the leaders of the team. Henry, a'Shawn, and Ragland. As much as luck, winning a title takes leadership and forming the right team identity. A QB also has to emerge that the team can rally behind and Coker was able to do that this season.

That is really the critical factor for 2016 Bama. This recent team had the fire because they hadn't won the title for two years and got bounced by OSU last year. Can 2016 Bama play with that same motivation?
