re: General thoughts on the National Title Game and next season

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.
