The offensive line will very significantly be better in 2021. Plus the depth behind that first string offensive line is also making significant improvements thanks in large part to new offensive line coach Brad Davis. So thanks for your concern.
Real curious about this depth on the OL you are talking about when O only signed 2 OL last year and 3 the year before that. If you are not signing 4-5 OL every year you are going backwards

was talking about UA is alot more than just a Football school now. The new AD has made some great hires across alot of the sports both male and female.
It's all for naught, because you'll never have the fan/alumni support required. The general fanbase does not give one flying shite about anything other than football and it shows. That's something that will never change for Alabama.
The best part is you and every other Bama fan here knows that's true.

Yeah not sure why he decided to say we have awesome o-line depth. That’s the position group that scares me the most.

LSU won 5 games last year, and 2 of those wins were Vandy and South Carolina.
LSU went 4-4 against the SEC teams they were originally scheduled to play. They were scheduled to play USC and Florida from the East and beat both of them. They went 2-4 against West teams last year. Their non-conference schedule was Rice, Texas, UTSA, and Nicholls State. Let's say they lose to Texas and beat Rice, UTSA, and Nicholls. That's a 7-5 overall record.
This year, their non conference games are against UCLA, McNeese St, Central Michigan, and ULM. Most LSU fans are predicting a 9-3 type of season. That means they win all their con-conference games and one more SEC game than they did last year against teams they were originally scheduled to play. So it's really not that much of an improvement being "predicted" by LSU fans. Their non-conference schedule is easier (UCLA not being as difficult as Texas) than it was slated to be in 2020.
I don't really see turning a 7-5 team to a 9-3 team being all that delusional and/or more delusional than pretty much every fan base is heading into a new season. I also don't really see it even being that drastic of an improvement TBH. Just look at the pre-season prediction thread. All but a few fanbases have their teams winning 9 or more games, which obviously isn't going to happen for as many fanbases as are predicting it

LSU had it's worse defense in its 120 year history because they transitioned to the 4-3 defense during a Covid Pandemic season with no spring practice, no summer workouts and player run practices, and only an abbreviated spring camp. Hence, the defense was playing a 4-3 defense without knowing how to play a 4-3 defense and we all saw the result.
Never seen a fan base use Covid as an excuse like LSU fans do. Maybe your HC had no plan or clue how to manage it. Christ Saban had it 2x last year and never missed a beat. ZERO players opted out.
Ohio State didnt have a spring, summer or fall camp, a short season and still managed to beat the shite out of Clemson in the CFBP and make it to the NCG.

2021 isn’t 2020, just like 2020 wasn’t 2019

You’re making way too much sense

So you think going 7-5 one year and 9-3 the next is some giant leap? That happens for teams pretty much every season in this league. Hell, Les Miles accomplished that monumental feat of a 2 game improvement on multiple occassions at LSU

I think its very difficult to take a team that quit and finished 5-5 last year and turn them into a 9 win team

They're not playing 10 SEC games and 0 non-conference games this year. That's a pretty stark difference when predicting total wins, no? I don't think it's a very hard sell that LSU can go 5-3 in the SEC and win their arguably pretty easy non-conference schedule. Their most difficult non-conference team went 3-4 in the Pac12 last year and 4-8 overall the year prior. Like I said, it's really a matter of winning one more SEC game than they did last season against teams they were supposed to play, and a 9-3 season wouldn't be all that much of an improvement. 9-3 would be on ok improvement. I mean what would you consider not to be delusional? 8-4? Could they be worse than 9-3, sure, but I also don't think any rational person would be shocked to see LSU go 9-3 either.

I think pretty much anything from 6-6 to 10-2 is possible, and neither would particularly surprise me.

So lets say you go 9-3 and get blown out by UA and aTm again ? I see a few toss up SEC games on that schedule, but the only way you get to 9-3 is by replacing 2 SEC teams with Monroe and MsNeese St. Thats really not an improvement to me

agreed. I think the only game on the schedule that is 100% a loss is against Alabama, there are 4 or so guaranteed wins, and then there are quite a few toss-ups. There's no telling how LSU will fare in those toss-up games.

Good thing they open with UCLA instead of a creampuff, we will know a good bit more after the first game. Even incorporating the expected improvement of younger guys over the season.

I literally said as much
But apparently it's also delusional to expect "not much of an improvement"
