The State of Alabama Football

Thank you Mr. Rummy. My fellow ranters the State of Alabama Football is strong. The Crimson Tide still has a legit chance of securing a 10 win season and in doing so will have won 36 games in the past 3 years. The opportunities for next year prove to be very exciting relative to the players we have returning as well as the incoming freshman who will be on campus. Indications point to Julio Jones return to the University and rising star DeAndrew White should emerge as a talented star at the receiver position. Trent Richardson and Eddie Lacy will return at the running back spots and there is still some hope amongst the Bama faithful that Heisman trophy winner Mark Ingram will grace Bryant-Denny for a 4th year. The offensive line should be alot stronger next season and will greatly benefit from the continuity that playing alongside one another during the 2010 campaign benefited. AJ McCarron will by all accounts man the QB position and many Tide fans are looking forward to his "gunslinger" style approach. The defense will return a host of starters and Mark Barron is likely to be amongst them after suffering a season ending injury in the Iron Bowl. The secondary in particular should be more competitive in the 2011 season and allow the front seven more opportunities to apply pressure. The kicking game looks also to improve as both kickers return along with the punter. Roll Tide and we'll see you in 2011!
