There's not much "starting experience" but there is a lot of experience among the guys expected to start up front. Frazier, Hand, and Payne have played a lot of meaningful football and Davis got in a good bit last year. I think that's the main factor in allowing Alabama to play at a high level each year defensively; they ease the young guys into action and when it's their turn they've already seen a lot of meaningful snaps but weren't thrown into the fire too early
I expect a drop off in the pass rush, we'll have to see how that impacts the rest of the defense. They'll still be able to make teams one dimensional because they'll rotate 4-5 giant humans on the defensive line

Don't
Evans, Payne, Hand are all great pass rushers
