The defense still should be solid next year. As long as the offense is better, the defense can afford a drop off. It won't be a huge drop off, Saban has had a top ten defense just about every year since 08.
The defense is still loaded with talent, the entire starting D line will be 5 star players, could have 2-3 5 star linebackers start, with 2-3 more in the secondary.
The offense has a chance to be Saban's best if Hurts can progress as a passer. The OL should be the best since 12, WR still loaded and one of the best running back corps that Bama has had. Also, I think we need to give Sark more then a week as OC, before we lose confidence in him.
With the SEC still down next year and a favorable schedule, Bama should be 11-1 or 12-0. The toughest team Bama will play is FSU.
Bama will likely lose more impact players after 17 then they did after this year. The SEC should be much better in 18 with all the young QB that played this year.

Defense falls back to an "average" Saban defense next year which means merely top 5,instead of historic.
Offense-All depends on Jalen. He'd better already be working on his passing game. If not, Tua will push him. Tua isn't ready, but obviously neither was Jalen. I like Jalen. He did some great things this season, but he hit a wall big time and the flaws were in neon. All the tools are around him except maybe at G and C. We've got to get better in the interior OL. It's been a sore spot since Barrett Jones left. Gotta replace a kicker too. Keep your fingers crossed on that one.
