Running
Back / Receiver |
Yeldon,
Drake and Henry represent
the best backfield talent
recruiting can find. Running
behind a typical NFL worthy
offensive line will continue
to keep the rushing attack
and this 2014 Bama squad
at the forefront of the
national championship
race. The ground game
will be devastating. Granted
Alabama has always been
considered a pound-n-ground
attack but this receiver
package of Cooper, White
and Jones are about the
best the SEC can offer.

Quarterback
/ Kicking Game |
The
most decorated quarterback
in Crimson Tide history
has finally finished his
college career. AJ McCarron
was a three-year starter.
Upwards of six candidates
will be given an equal
opportunity this off-season
to win the job. Senior-to-be
Blake Sims is the only
one who has taken a college
snap at least until Florida
State transfer Jacob Coker
arrives in Tuscaloosa.
The Tide will be looking
to replace both a kicker
and punter. Mandell was
an All-SEC punter but
if the kicking blunders
in the Iron Bowl last
year were any indication,
the task of locating a
reliable kicker will be
priority one for Coach
Saban and staff. |
