The Official Depth Chart

Written by Ell | 31 August 2009

As expected, Nick Saban and the University of Alabama's Media Relations staff have released the official depth chart for the first game of the 2009 season. There are some surprises - first off there are no true freshmen listed at first or second string anywhere. Second, there are 11 true freshman and seven redshirt freshman in the three deep (which is frequently actually four deep). There's also a JuCo transfer at first team. Here's the full deal, with more analysis later:
