The way Saban made it sound Monday, Yeldon and Henry are poised to share the traditional, between-the-tackles carries while Drake will be used primarily as a receiving option out of the backfield. They'll be running behind an offensive line that brings back three starters and has focused on being more physical than they were last year.

West Virginia will run out of the 3-3 stack, a defense Alabama hasn't seen in a long time, and put three veterans along the defensive line. Nose tackle Kyle Rose (49 tackles, 8.5 for loss in 2013) is a player to watch. EDGE: ALABAMA...
