This may sound repetitive, but Alabama is LOADED. At seemingly every position they are two or three deep with guys that can be plugged in, and they could succeed. They have questions arising at running back due to the fact that Damien Harris and Bo Scarborough aren’t experienced, and that their backups aren’t either.

That’s no reason to worry though. Scarborough, Harris, B.J. Emmons, and Joshua Jacobs are all at least four star recruits, and very capable of producing when they’re eventually called upon.

They also will be receiving a lot of quality depth when this year’s highly touted recruiting class arrives on campus. With two top linebackers in Ben Davis and Mack Wilson coming in they will be able to sit a year and learn the defense unless they’re needed this year.

They also were able to reel in even more defensive line talent, and receiver talent to build on to some of the deepest position groups in the country. With incredible depth at defensive line, linebacker, receiver, and the secondary expect fresh legs to be rotating in and out in multiple sets to wear down opposing teams like last year.
