Kiffin's playcalling didn't cater to an olineman's strengths with all the east-west stuff, and of course when your QB is so young, the timing and communication is bound to be off a lot. However, I think Daboll's system should fit better to what olineman want to do. Running downhill and throwing more off play-action should be all good news to our big uglies. I am cautiously (very) optimistic, and I think our recruiting on the oline has been as good as ever

It's hard to argue with the offense's success under Kiffin. But, I hated his style of offense. Maybe I'm just old. But, I'd LOVE to see Daboll return us to physically dominating the other team. And I like having a mobile QB, but the first thing I want a QB to be able to do is throw a pass. Hopefully they've improved the passing beyond the LOS.

I agree with your assessments on defense. As long as Saban is at Bama, and the recruiting stays the same, the defense will be one of the best in the nation. I don't expect much, if any, dropoff this year.
