Attrition hits hard every year when you’re a team like Alabama that develops high school talent into 1st round NFL draft picks with such regularity that most college football Twitter heads believe the Tide has a never-ending supply of 5-star recruits as backups.
2019 proved that wasn’t the case, as the mass departures the year before, coupled with a small legion of season-ending injuries, derailed the Crimson Tide defense before the season ever really started.
But you didn’t come here to listen to lamentations or excuses for the season past, instead looking forward to the future.
