So I noticed:

Wilcox was out all game... 

McCants looking extremely angry and frustrated in the 3rd at Barnett not making passes and getting sacked... then it was obvious how he moved a short time later he was not 100% like he got injured or cramped, seen by trainers then sat out the 4th quarter.

Soloman not in the game in the 4th quarter either... 

It just seemed like we didn't really have all of our offensive weapons by the end of the game.

In the postgame radio show they talked about offensive line rotation so they could try to keep the starters fresh on  humid night. 4 out of the 5 backups were freshmen. 

Not sure if all the injuries on offense had an impact on play calling, but seemed to me that after the 2nd TD, the offensive play calling changed completely.

I think our boys were hurt and we hadto grind out a win with the youngins. Playing time and experience goes a long way in development of the young players . Saban's is notorious for getting young guys time but he can do it for different reasons. I do believe many of offensive players are hurt and were decoys. McCants looked slower than usual.

Business as usual for Strong. We need an insider with a security clearance to get us the facts.

Wilcox played. He was out at the end of the second qtr and then the rest of the game. But you are right. By my count we have 10 total starters out by the end of the game.

4 running backs were out. Thorne out 4 the season. Looks like Bronson was out too.
