OMG   :'( :'( :'(

Offensive line should be strong.  I think we know who the QB will be and he should have some receivers.  We got a bunch of youngsters playing time on defense.  We'll be first rate next year especially if we improve the kicking game! :D ;D

Should be back.

Kicking game should improve too.  Shelly looked good last night and has been improving this season.

I expect him to be, but their was some talk so I listed him.  Maybe Kuiyam will stop by and give us the scoop.

One of the 45 yarders he made would have been good from 50.  Maybe he can increase his range a little so he can get the ball up on those long kicks to avoid the blocks.

I just remember the Tiffins.  They had a few rocky games early but turned out to be good ones.  Shelly does need to work on his range, Foster isn't too accurate.

Heck, Foster even got at least two kickoffs into the end zone last night!  #+

Alabama now enters the offseason with Nick Saban's second national championship as the Tide's head coach. That's No. 13 in the Alabama record books. The Tide will lose some key pieces to this team, especially on defense, but the offense might be better with four of five linemen coming back and McCarron being much improved. Alabama should also have some better play at wide receiver. For LSU, this was a great season until Monday night. But the Tigers return the core of this team and will most certainly get better quarterback play from junior college transfer Zach Mettenberger. Both of these teams will be ranked right at the top of the polls to begin next season.

Lester is coming back for his senior year, according to Joe Schad.

Good news!  Was just about to start a thread...glad I looked here first.

There is a rumor also that Trent is meeting with Coach Saban at 4pm.  Would not surprise to hear his official announcement after that.

I think several of the players are meeting with coach today.  I've seen a few tweets about it.

Jesse is still learning the game of football but he has improved a ton since arriving on campus but he still has a ways to go before the he gets a shot at the next level. If he improves as much in the off season this year as he did last year I think his reward will be awaiting him.
