What the loss of Deonte Brown means for Alabama

Nick Saban announced Tuesday that three players had not made the trip to Miami for the Orange Bowl due to a violation of team rules thus. The violation resulted in players being suspended for the game. One of the players that did not make the trip is the starting left guard for Alabama, Deonte Brown. While Alabama has been fortunate not to have succumbed to several injuries this season, this is still a devastating blow. Brown has been a force on the offensive line and helped increase the rush attack for the offense when it was originally struggling to consistently run the ball.
