I'm very concerned. This is why it is so difficult to beat Bama in November. Difference in depth exacerbated by injuries. For each injury that State and Bama suffer, the talent gap gets bigger. Saban knows this. That's why he advocated for requiring a Power 5 nonconference game (that he was already playing) and is now advocating for adding a ninth conference game. He knows these additional physical games mean increased injuries for all teams (including Bama), but this plays to his advantage: talent depth.
