Physical play - The defense allowed 88 more yards per game last season than it did in the 2012 title run. Close that gap and the Tide will be in better position play after New Year's Eve. 2. Spread the wealth - Amari Cooper was the playmaker in 2014, but he'll be in the NFL this fall. There's still a healthy stable of young receivers who return, but it's hard to picture another Cooper emerging at this point. Lane Kiffin will have to replace 73 percent of the receiving yards from last season, so there will be plenty of opportunity. 3. QB play - Duh! - The Ohio State model goes out the window here. But Alabama returns a 6-foot-5 passer with a strong arm in Jacob Coker. He'll be penciled in as the favorite entering spring practice after completing his first season as Blake Sims' backup. Coker isn't quite as speedy as Sims, but he ran the option in high school and Cardale Jones showed what 6-5 quarterbacks can do to tacklers.

Yep, and my preference would be 98-0. However, I will also take 2-0. 98-97 is UNACCEPTABLE though.

I thought these people made good money and wanted to coach with good talent. Now I have to think how many players will these coaches try to flip? You know. RTR!

As a rule, most football coaches are a very arrogant lot. They believe that they can coach better than the next guy and look for opportunities to prove it. Coach Saban will replace the coaches he lost and I really don't think we will be the worse for it...Title: Re: "3 things Alabama can do to celebrate a national championship in 2015" Post by: ALTideUp on January 15, 2015, 11:19:00 AM Bama doesn't have next year's QB, yet.

For all of his antics, Orgeron is one heck of a D line coach. :( Title: Re: "3 things Alabama can do to celebrate a national championship in 2015" Post by: Catch Prothro on January 15, 2015, 09:14:52 PM I wonder why the bottom seems to have fallen out all of a sudden.
