Offensive
Line |
| The
usual top quality
ball carriers running
behind an offensive
line that loses
just one starter
automatically qualifies
you as a national
title contender.

| Linebacker |
Dont'a
Hightower scooted
for the NFL along
with departed Courtney
Upshaw, the heart
of the defense needs
retooled. Don't
fret there is plenty
of talent to go
around, but these
two rocked. |

DEPTH CHARTS were only designed
as a simplistic gauge for listing
players that departed and players
that received the most playing
experience (consistent starters).
NationalChamps.net recognizes
the importance of missing personnel
data not listed such as redshirts,
transfers, injuries, incoming
recruits, back ups and alternates.
Their coverage will begin with
our full 2012 Preseason Preview
due out this coming spring. |

TAKES |
12/21/11
- Trent
Richardson right, left and
up the middle behind a veteran
offensive line that shapes
up to be the nation's best.
Is anyone capable of stopping
this?
- “A
complete package there,”
Tennessee coach Derek Dooley
says. “(Richardson)
is obviously the key to what
they do, but you’re
not getting much of a letup
when (Lacy) comes in.”
- “Barrett
Jones is one of the greatest
people I’ve ever had
the opportunity to be around,”
head coach Nick Saban says
about his four year starting
tackle who is the top rated
player at his position.
- Safe
passes and tight end targets
have become the norm for this
passing attack. Do they have
enough confidence in McCarron
this time around to let him
do more and does McCarron
share this confidence?
- The
Crimson Tide defense is solid
all around, but it's the play
of linebackers Upshaw and
Hightower that allow the blitz
packages to be so dominant.
Despite having talent on this
unit, losing both to the NFL
would make for some tough
shoes to fill.
