Fall Recruiting News: How will Alabama finish? Offense.
By Jason Argo (Argo)

Although Alabama is only halfway with the 2008 football season, the Tide is nearly three-quarters of the way finished with the 2009 recruiting class. What remains to be seen is how strong Bama will finish this season and the 2009 recruiting class.

I’ll go ahead and tell you that I have the same answer for both questions.

Strong.

In the same way I see Bama with a top 5 finish on the season, I again see Saban and the coaching staff pulling in another top 5 recruiting class. We may lose a game or a big time prospect we really want but the end results will speak for themselves….in only 2 years, we are laying the foundation of the team that Saban envsioned when he first arrived in Tuscaloosa. A team that nobody wants to play.

We are making that name for ourselves the old fashioned way…in the trenches. That’s right, no gimmick offense or trick plays. We line up and smash the other team in the mouth. Knowing that the only way to accomplish this feat is having some “big nasties in the trenches” leads us to our first outlook in the 2009 recruiting class. The offensive line.

For those of you that don't make it a point to visit the recruiting forum, you should begin to make it a point to do so.

While we are in the midst of an off week for games, we are also expecting some good news on the recruiting front. That's above what we've already had with Louisiana star Darrington Sentimore committing to Alabama yesterday.

That's exactly right, Argo. Bama hasn't consistently dominated in the trenches for a long time, until this year. That's one of the main reasons they've been so mediocre for most of the last decade. And you're also right that nobody is going to want to play The Crimson Tide.
