We're cautiously optimistic that this will be one of Saban's more complete teams. But, we don't know yet. Last years team, despite the "good" results was, in my opinion, the worst Bama team since 2010, especially after all the injuries piled up.
We're hoping the O-line will be better with our new coach there. The DB situation looks to be much improved. We definitely have more depth and talent there. It remains to be seen how that will translate to the field. Utah State isn't much of a measuring stick. By the end of last year, we were down to one hobbled scholarship RB. The RB's are deep and talented this year, with guys coming back from injury and Gibbs, the GT transfer.
It should be a very good team. We don't have 3-4 known first round WR's like Jeudy, Ruggs, Smith, and Waddle. But, I think there are some Young guys that can turn into that.
I don't love Bill Obrien, but he was solid last year. If the O-line has improved, and with what should be a resurgent defense, "solid" will probably be good enough. But, if you guys want to trade Sark for him, we can make it happen.
