I will be a lot less worried about it when we get a couple of our linebackers back.


Sucks how life is unfair. You lose two starting linebackers to injury and are concerned about depth at the position? At 95% of CFB programs those losses would initiate an irrevocable downward spiral to oblivion.

Bama has 4 injured linebackers, 2 starters and 2 backups. Three of the four should be back soon. I am not saying it is unfair. Injuries are one of the adversities all teams must overcome. All I said is I will be less worried about opponents being able to move the ball when they return. I couldn't less about what it would to do lesser opponents.

It wasn't just two. Alabama played Saturday night without 5 of the linebackers on their 2 deep.

Christian Miller - out for season, torn bicep
Terrell Lewis - out for season, torn ligaments in elbow
Rashaan Evans - out last 2 games, groin
Anfernee Jennings - out last 2 games, ankle sprain
Dylan Moses - out last 2 games, concussion protocol.

Even our depth isn't good enough to not feel that.
