The good news for Alabama: Two of its best offensive linemen appear poised to return Saturday against Tennessee.

The better news: The backups for center Ryan Kelly and right tackle Austin Shepherd gained invaluable experience and proved reliable when called upon earlier this month.

Redshirt freshman Bradley Bozeman filled the void left by Kelly for the frantic second half against Ole Miss and two other full, SEC games. Grant Hill, one of Alabama's most versatile linemen, slid in for Shepherd when he injured his knee during the second quarter against Texas A&M...

Hopefully Kelly and Shepard are indeed well, and all linemen can stay healthy for the title run.

They are the key to the team's success. Let's hope they can stay healthy.

The value of their PT goes beyond just having back-ups ready. It promotes total domination. You are getting whooped by our offensive line. You can't get off the field. And after three 13yd series, here come these two new guys skipping on to the field, fresh as daisies. "Ready for a few more drives fellas"?

Good point. Kind of like our running game always having fresh legs.

The depth thingy I was worried about is now a short memory. Bradley and Grant did a whale of a job as supporting the other guys and they are going to be 2 monsters when they step up full time. Full time you ask? Yes they kept the hammer down 2 weeks and if we make it to the play offs it will be a big part of what they did in their first 2 weeks of playing time. There is one thing for sure: I have never seen a heisman trophy guy go out and beat 11 other players by himself. I Don't Care Who He is!!! RTR!
