Quarterbacks: B+
Wilson’s numbers are down from a year ago, he also hasn’t had to try and win a game. His consistency needs to be better, but his passing efficiency is actually up, and he’s had just two interceptions.
Running Backs: A-
Coffee is averaging 7.5 yards every time he takes a handoff, which is frightfully good. To put that into perspective, Arkansas’ Darren McFadden had a 5.6 average last year.
Wide receivers: B
The young receiving corps figures to improve over the next six games, and must do a better job of getting yards after the catch, two major pluses are the unit’s blocking and diversity. So far, 15 different players have caught a pass and unlike in the past it’s almost impossible to tell if the play is a run by who’s in at wideout.
Offensive Line: A
The biggest concern is depth.
Defensive Line: A-
No opponent has been able to run up the middle, where Cody has regularly attracted two, if not three, blockers. He’s a huge reason why Alabama’s rushing defense is second nationally (50.8 yards per game).
Linebackers: B+
Considering three starters had to be replaced, the linebacker corps probably has no business performing this well.
Defensive Backs: B
The proof isn’t in the eight interceptions, but the pass defended.
Special Teams: B-
Coverage on returns has been the team’s biggest weakness.
Overall/Coaching: A
The job Saban’s staff has done is remarkable.
