I was going to wait and read what others said before I listed some of  mine, but in no particular order they are:

Tua getting hurt....

New coaches not gelling well on gameday prep....

As usual... The secondary.....

Auburn at their house.... Been there and that noise and crowd is a gamechanger....

Second season without my pigskin pickin' pug not being able to help me....

I guess mine would be you not having Bacardi "The Wonder Dog."

He was good at picking games for you, Larry. Aside from that, I have no worries for this season. Tua will do a better job of protecting himself and plus, this year's offensive line could be the best one Nick Saban has had since 2012-13 in terms of having a complete group from left tackle to right tackle.

Defensive coaches have a added a lot of juice, but more importantly, there are teaching these players how to truly play their positions.

Tua being healthy. I really want to see him go through the entire season unscathed. He is just so talented as a passer. Be a shame for us not to see that greatness from start to finish.

I agree gray need to stay healthy across the board.

We had a lot of issues with staying healthy.

Plus I am worried about who is really going to step up to be a difference maker on D.

I know a lot of names are being thrown around about it being their year but you never know!

I’m worried about the guys losing focus. To me that seems to be why they don’t finish off the season strong sometimes.

Legitimate point, but the truth is all players get distracted around that time. The ugly truth is Clemson was just better, more prepared and we didn't have a good game plan for their ferocious defensive line. With extra time on your hands and no football games, 18-22 year olds will get distracted easily, heck, I'm 58 and my focus will shift if I don't have something to keep me busy lol.

I have NO FEARS.... we have a ton of talent in every position... kicking will be what it is ... we will just make TDs ... we won’t need field goals. Defense will dominate! Offense will dominate.... no one will be able to stop us.

Love your confidence! I hope so. Been awhile since we just straight dominated every opponent. Hoping this season is that way.

1)  New Staff

2) Lack of a dominate run game

3) Strength of defensive front 7 (namely LB corp)

1. Losing to Clemson again

2. Who will step up in the LB and secondary positions.

3. How the entire team keeps focused on the season goals.

Offense looks to be set and poised for a dominant season. Hope all coaches have the mindset to be here long term. RTR!!

You don't think are run game will be dominant with the OL we'll have and Najee and Brian running the ball? Not too mention Trey Sanders coming in.

At the end of the day, I have 0 fears for next season.

For the longest of time, Alabama fans have longed for competition and Clemson is delivering that competition. I have spoken with several players that really thought the CFP title game was a fluke, and they are ready to bounce back.

Also, when the Tide is mentioned by every college football media pundit in a positive matter, negative things happen. If you go back and chart Alabama's national championships under Saban, all have come with the team under some friction.

The same method applies here. Clemson has all the fanfare and that's how Saban would have it. Let them rejoice and have the Tide snatch it back on the biggest stage.
