Maurice might make a push for PT. Gates might show up on the depth chart as a guard. We've got some pretty darned good talent in some spots but some glaring holes at others. I think some of the youngsters on our team are going to be able to play with anybody by the time they're upperclassmen.Obviously none of our offensive or defensive lineman would even make third string on their teams. Can you imagine the Alabama or Clemson defensive front going against our offensive line? With all of the sacks that would take place, Nebraska would have negative 25-50 rushing yards. Winking

Maurice is better than you give him credit for IMO. Gates is out of position IMO and is a very talented guy. I think he would crack the 2 deep at Bama at guard. JMHO. One thing about having as many difference makers as Bama has is that it makes everybody around them look better. Bama will have a bunch of guys drafted but I think both Maurice and Gates will get drafted as well eventually. Not all of Bama's linemen play in the NFL if you haven't noticed. Gates should be healthy next year and he's going to be viewed as a versatile guy drafted as a guard when he's done.Maurice and Gates would push for playing time in the fourth quarter of a blowout game. They don't sniff 1st or 2nd string at Alabama.
none!I would say 1 for sure...kicker Drew Brown. Maybe Jordan Westerkamp or Nate Gerry. That's about it.
Start? Zero. How many would make the 2 deep?
I've seen some interviews and read some stories over the years on Saban's coaching practices/methods...
Anyone that has coached with him knows he better pull his weight and coach hard.
FBletterman said it above that players would quit, and I bet some would. If they didn't quit, he would send them on their way if they weren't pulling their weight.
Saban coaches to win championships and nothing else.
Yeah see that quote from Lane Kiffen today saying he has had no fun at all in his job the last 3 years. Of course those reports out of Miami when Saban was HC were not flattering. Saban runs a military style program.
