QB could be an issue but the talent is there. Don't forget we return 20 players who either started or played as much as the starters did, spot started, or at least played a significant number of plays showing no drop off, including both specialists, 7 on offense, and at least 11 on defense. This represents way more returning experience than last years team returned. I thought we were going to be hurting this year, but the return of Jon Allen, Tim Williams, Ryan Anderson, Eddie Jackson, Reuben Foater, and OJ Howard will prove huge, all of them were early entry candidates and they all came back.

The returning experience on the front seven isn't even close to what the '15 team returned.

Returning secondary in '15 was also more experienced but, not by as much as the front seven.

Returning experience.
You are aware that the '15 "D" returned the two deep along the DLine intact.
LBs returned two starters and three more with some level of starting experience. Two deep consisted of three Srs, three Jrs, one soph and one fr.
DBs returned two starters and another five with starting experience. Six upperclassmen (four Srs and two Jrs) in the two deep.

No drop off. reed and robinson had as many tackles last year as the combined total of all the Dlinemen returning.

What made the '15 "D" so special is it's two deep was loaded top to bottom with EXPERIENCED SEC quality talent.

Going into '16 bama has
4 Dlinemen
5 LBs
4 DBs

that are as of now TOP level SEC quality experienced players. With bama's roster that's good enough for 9 - 10 wins. Some of the younger players will need to develop quickly if the tide wants to make another run to atlanta.
