Eh, I liked the simple "20XX Alabama Crimson Tide" format without the side comments a lot better. Straight forward, nothing implied, nothing to come back on us. Seven is Heaven.

Oh, we're talking about the team though right? Yeah, QB will be interesting. I think McElroy will be fine (assuming of course he gets the job, which I am it will be his to lose), especially if we can plug the holes left with Smith and Caldwell leaving the line. Everything will start with the line and that's the biggest concern. If Fluker/Carpenter can come in right away and be a force then that's awesome, we'll have the playmakers for McElroy for hit if he gets good time in the pocket. I wonder what changes if any will be made in regards to the passing game seeing as it was supposedly dumbed down to benefit Wilson.

The rushing attack looks to be strong. Everybody is coming back and we add the top runner in the nation in Trent Richardson. Again, definitely will need that oline to recover from it's losses. We have to have that rushing attack.

I agree with you about the defense. It *should* again be one of the best. We "only" lose Rashad Johnson and Bobby Greenwood. Both will be missed, especially Johnson, but I think the guys we got coming back and coming in this year's recruiting class can pick up the slack. Mt. Cody returning is HUGE. He gets another year in the S&C program and that's bad news for opposing teams. I am really looking forward to seeing the defense in 09'.

Before that though, I am looking forward to seeing the game tomorrow against Utah. I hope they are not taking Utah lightly, the last time we didn't have Smith we struggled (Tulane) and Utah is better than Tulane. We are young, so I hope the maturity they've shown this year in not looking past opponents continues.
