This was the youngest Alabama defense since 2010. Alabama returned the fewest defensive starters in the SEC this past season. It caught up to them against Clemson.Bama has been loaded every year since 2008. Even that 2010 team, they were loaded with talent, they were just so young they lost a couple games they shouldn't have.
So, yes, they will be loaded again next season.
Still gotta win the games. UGA was loaded this year too. Didn't get em too far. We'll be loaded again next season too, and results are to be determined.
Some fans try to downplay exactly how much talent their team has.Georgia was a bit behind this year. Talent was there, but nearly 70% of the roster was underclassmen, and Bama and Clemson had big edges in receivers and the front 7 on defense. Gap should be closed a bit next season though. I really can't wait to see what these 5 stars from the 2018 class can really do since they'll all be playing significant time next season.

Don't buy the young talent reasoning either. I'd rather have young 5* talent than young 3* talent.
5* doesnt mean everything. Its nice tobhave them than not but Bama had 4 players declare early, all projected to go 1st round and only 1 was a 5*...2 of them were 3*.Georgia was a bit behind this year.

Coaching can’t overcome what some are pointing to as this huge talent gap. Watch the draft this year. And next. And the next.
Clemson is loaded. So are UGA and tOSU.

It absolutely can. Venables was co-MVP of the game this year IMO. He disguised coverages and had Tua and Bama confused much of the game. Especially once the field shrunk in the red zone.
And Trevor Lawrence is just a freak. He’d be the #1 pick in the NFL draft right now and he has to play two more years
Without a doubt you have to win. But one thing a Bama fan should never say is.........they had more talent than us. That hasn’t been true in over a decade.

Don't know if its been mentioned...but you guise are going to be experiencing some serious brain drain.
Good luck. We did that for a few years too.....do you drink alcohol?
as for young talent. Both the CB's Alabama stared in that game were true freshman. When Savion Smith was injured, he was replaced by another True Freshman CB.
We started the season with 1 true freshman CB, but we also had Diggs, who turns his head and was a 4 star from 2016 class. But he was injured mid season, so we've been rolling with True Freshman CBs all season long.
So all 3 of those guys should be here for the next few years. Diggs is also coming back. Thompson is coming back, etc. Defense should be much improved next year.
Lawrence is part of the talent. They also had an NFL DL.
But don’t trust me. Just watch the drafts over the next few years. CU was/is loaded.
Agreed. Even though the title game was lopsided, it wasn’t because of talent on the field. Clemson just had a really good game plan and Saban had an uncharacteristic game plan. But that could be due to the attrition of his staff. Dabo’s been able to keep a congruent staff and it showed.
