    Definitely not out of the top 10.

    That was DeMarcus Waldrop. He's a SO and has talent but is pretty small at 5'11'', 195. Simpson is a JR so he will be back next year. I think he will take over the leadership role on D.

    We lose a pretty good bit on D, but we do have some solid backups. We have a LB (Prince Hall) that came to Bama and redshirted this year but I expect him to start next year. Also Terrance Jones is a good player and also is capable of being a leader. We lose Griffin and Anderson off the Dline but Dominic Lee and Bobby Greenwood (awesome freshman) replace them. Our secondary may be iffy with only Castille coming back.

    All we lose on offense is Brodie. There will be a QB race next year i'm sure. All 3 of our TE's are freshmen now and we have Darby and all the WR coming back.

    Bamma beats Auburn by doing what LSU did in the second half. Blitz Cox at every turn. Irons will get his, he's a very good back but Cox will get rattled if you bring the heat.

    NOTE: You will be 8th in the coach's poll:

    Hopefully not. No back has 100 yards on us all season. The most was McFadden with 94. We held a good back in Vincent to 56 yards on 20 carries. Our rush D is our strongpoint. We allow only 89 ypg. HOPEFULLY we can contain him!

    If Addai was healthy, he would have. JV isn't a bruiser type guy. I'm surprised he did as well as he did though, so props to him.

    If if if...Um, well if Prothro would have been healthy, he would have had 150 yards. C'mon man everybody talks about how Bama fans say this and get on them about it.

    How do you KNOW Addai would have. He's not in the top 3 in the SEC in rushing.

    #7.

    JV is our third-string running back you know. Broussard is out for the season and Addai couldn't run because of injury.

    Kenny Irons is very likely to put 100 on you. But you should win, anyway.
