Keenan is out so Bama will head to Tallahassee down 3 starters. Beginning to get worrisome.

They were 2-10 last year and we will be MUCH better overall this year than last.

We’re fine.

I expect us to stomp a mud hole in them and walk it dry.

Not the same team as last year and Malzahn is calling plays.

 

[Saban4Ever]

They have so many transfers, about 25 I think... it will be hard for them to gel the first game.They can't be any worse than last year, but I'm hoping we beat them by double digits. I'm sure Gus will have some tricks up his sleeve.
I think Daniel Hill has been in a black no contact jersey the past few days... was expecting him to have a big game since Jam is out. Hope it is just precautionary but someone on another site mentioned he may have done something to his ankle. Seems injuries are starting to pile up already... hopefully it won't be an issue for the season.

His Offense in the Big12 the last two years went 10-15 with a Total Offense rank in the 40-50th range.

His gimmick play calling isn’t as scary as it use to be.

Bama will be a different team too and much improved.

Grubb is going to eat teams alive with Ty and our RBs and WRs.

The Offense will be more efficient and give the defense breathers for a change.

I’m only concerned about Kicking but it won’t matter vs FSU.

Yeah, that came out after we published this depth chart. He'll be out until Georgia and next week's chart will reflect that.

Was looking forward to watching Hill run the ball. Does FSU have any starters out with injuries? Wait….let me guess…

FSU had 2 on injury report. A DT and a WR

I haven’t heard anything about this anywhere except on your post.

I stand by what I said.

Nope don’t need it. But people need to quit underestimating Malzahn when he gets the righ5 players. Btw, I hate Malzahn.

I had a sick feeling of "this is like Nick Marshal, all over again".
