interesting that Alabama is ranked #1 in preseason polls and #106 on returning OL starters.  Alabama has to replace 3 OL starters in '13; the last time faced with that problem ('09) they won the title. 

while I like the stat because I think continuity and chemistry are key for good OL play; if your OL is bad, returning the same bad OL the next year will not necessarily make the OL better.
