Bama QB Del Rio transfers to Oregon State

[Ifyouonlyknew]

The reason Coker can transfer to Bama is bc he's graduated from FSU but he's only a rs soph. So he has 2 years of eligibility left instead of 1.

I thought the SEC put an end to that after Masoli.

Losing cj and haha is huge. Depriest will have to be the leader on D.

Bama should be heavy to solid favs vs: WV, FAU, USM, UF, @OM, @ARK, @UT, MSU, @ WCU... they will also be slight favs vs A&M, @Lsu, @AU...

With that schedule, 9-4 would be a huge disappointment. .. I'd like to see 11 minimum.

You have to play at Auburn again in 2014? Or was that a mistake?

Mistake. It's at the Krystal Palace.

"We will have a bigger, stronger and more athletic starting 22 than Bama."

Huh?

We will. List your 22 if you can and we'll compare. Height, weight etc.

I don't agree with this, although I do think our defense will be good enough and Dak could be the difference maker.

Tusk, why would you consider Bama solid favorites over MSU and OM, but only slight favorites over Texas A&M? A&M should take a fairly large step back next year.

Del Rio's sister lives here in Nola. I know her and she's quite a bit of work. She's got the entire $5+ mil mansion to herself most of the year. Very high maintenance but she can be, she's pretty nice on the eyes.

If my numbers are correct Bama loses 9 of 22 starters. Both starting DBs, their leaders on D Haha and Mosley, AJ and 2 of their top WR. 9-3 looks way more likely than any NC aspirations next year imo. They don't have a QB right now.

This doesn't have much to do with their size, strength, and athleticism. They'll replace their lost starters with some of the best athletes in college football...again.

Sorry i didn't respond ... got tied up.

The OL will average 6-5/6-6 & ~320#.
LBs will all be 245 - 260 with excellent speed.
DL average will approach if not exceed 300#.

The skill positions on O are terrific.

Major questions for me are 1- can we field a serviceable QB? & 2- Develop some good CBs.?

You're right... a&m is in ttown as well.... they should be a big 'dog in that one.
