I kinda had a feeling that BJ Scott was going to get beat out. But Chavis is a surprise, as I thought Nico would get the nod after having good experience from last season.

This is from Saban's press conference going on. I dont have a link yet

[It Takes Eleven]

Arie Kouandijo holding down the 2nd spot at RT as a true freshman is surprising. Hope we get his brother, too.

 

[RollTideRandy]

So if Dareus is #1, that means the NCAA cleared him to play on Saturday?

I don't think the NCAA has cleared him I just think the coaches will leave him as the starter until they hear the official word.

 

[4th-and-1]

i am really glad to see menzie.. a little juco experience could go a long way this year.. we will see alot of scott i am sure, but saban went after menzie for a reason. not much different than carpenter last year..

 

[musso]

wth happened to tana patrick???

 

[Big_Fan]

While I am sure we will lose an underclassman or 2...there are only 2 seniors on our entire 2 deep on defense...and only 5 on our entire 2 deep on offense - and 2 of those are backups.

We are so loaded. Even with a new QB, 2012 could be one of those teams like 1995 Nebraska.

wth happened to tana patrick???

Exactly what I feared is the word I got. He was LAZY as hell at NJ and the word I got is it has carried over to T town this year. I still have hope Saban can get him to come around but he has been a loafer since grade school. He has the talent and tools to do the job, he just needs to get his head on straight.
