Right. Not a bruising offensive line with two potential All-American backs behind it; not a disciplined, fast, talented defense that can produce a consistent pass rush as well as stop the run.

Nah. It was Greg McElroy and the young, unproven "depth" (including one player that was still in high school at the time) behind him that made Alabama the national champions. The same Greg McElroy that barely completed 60% of his passes with the eventual Heisman Trophy Winner and his freakish freshman counterpart in the backfield. The same guy that threw a potentially back-breaking interception against some also-ran team who were beaten by a geriatric mafia stand-in.

Yeah. QB recruiting. That was it.


I like the way you think...forget about the assholes calling you a "newbie," the fact is, you speak the truth.

If you think the entire point is about Greg McElroy, well, the point went way over your head.

Bama won it's championship for other reasons than Elroy. I think where the op was trying to go was to point out that Bama and the unspoken one is lining up QB talent and depth to continue success when one departs whereas we have two JRs and no one else. Not counting Rivers until he is here. Even still in 2012 he will potentially be a red shirt freshman.

I agree had this or that went this way or that way we would not be in the position we are in now as well. Lee should be a Jr while Jefferson should still be a So. and IMO Shep should be a QB the kid has extreme talent. I don't dislike him being a wr and wild cat QB and running back etc either as long as he touches the ball just saying I don't buy into the he couldn't be a college QB and a good one at that.
