First off sorry to hear about those two going down for season.

Read conflicting stories. One said two starters another said they both played same position. Did they both start VS FSU?

Any idea who will be starting LBs going forward? Do moses or allen have a shot at starting?

Miller was a starter. Lewis was a key reserve.

Rashaan Evans and Anfernee Jennings were also injured. Though short term.

Keith Holcombe and Shaun Hamilton will be the inside LBs. Jamie Mosley and Mekhi Brown outside. Moses and Allen will provide depth.

I hate it for the guys.

It will hurt, I am sure. But we are deep at that position

Moses played against Florida State. Chris Allen did not. I expect both to play a lot against Fresno State and Colorado State, while Evans and Jennings heal up.

Hate it for those guys and always hate to lose good players, but LB was probably the one position on either side of the ball that we had enough depth to handle something like that. Still, 4 linebackers going down in the same game is hard to even fathom.

Alabama didn't start in base against FSU. Jennings, Evans, and Hamilton were the LBs on the first drive.

Base for FSU was

Jack - Jennings
Sam - Miller
Mike - Hamilton
Will - Evans

Thank you for a concise and informative reply to the OP's question. A rather rare occurence here.

I think it speaks volumes that none of those 4 guys played in the 2nd half and that's when the defense started to dominate.

Hate it for those guys, especially this early in the season. Seems like there were a ton of Starters out for the season over this past weekend.

Biggest reason for the 2nd half change in defense was benching a big name starter at cb & replacing him with a walk-on.
