By Tony Tsoukalas Senior Sports Reporter [email protected]

Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban has yet to name a starter at the right tackle position for Saturday’s game against LSU. D.J. Fluker is coming back from a groin injury suffered during the South Carolina game. Saban said he has to evaluate Fluker’s performance in practice before naming him starter over Alfred McCullough, who has taken the spot in Fluker’s absence. “D.J. is able to practice, but is he 100 percent?” Saban said. “That is what we will have to evaluate. We will continue to evaluate the right tackle position and decide probably as late as the game who will play there.” McCullough said he is preparing every day as he would as the starter, but he admitted that not knowing has made him a little anxious. “Everybody wants to be in the starting position,” McCullough said. “The antici- pation is great. It makes you practice hard every day, so it’s a good thing.” Whoever starts for the Tide, the team feels they will have a great chance at success. “If [Fluker] goes, he’s going to be ready to play,” McCullough said. “If I go, I’m going to be ready to play.”

Carpenter: A silent leader

There is a silent presence in the Alabama offense. He might not be the loudest or the most outspoken, but Crimson Tide left tackle James Carpenter’s actions are most definitely heard. “I think James does a really great job and he works hard,” head coach Nick Saban said. “He doesn’t say anything. I mean, he doesn’t speak unless spoken to. I guess you would say he is not really a vocal leader, but I think he leads by example and does a good job of what he tries to do.” Carpenter, like many of the other prominent leaders on the team, sets a good example on and off the field. “He is never an issue, never a problem, never in trouble,” Saban said. “I don’t even know if his name has come up since he’s been here for missing class or anything.” When teammates say Carpenter doesn’t say anything, they mean exactly that. When it comes down to practice, the 6-foot-5, 300-pound lineman is all about business. “I have never heard him say anything in practice except for making an O-line change,” junior linebacker Dont’a Hightower said. “When he’s tired, he doesn’t say, ‘I’m tired,’ or anything like that. He is just quiet.” Despite the respect Carpenter receives in the locker room, teammates still give him a hard time about his silent nature. “I think he would be one of the guys the players would kid a CW |John Michael Simpson little bit because he is so quiet,” Top: Senior quarterback Greg McElroy prepares to throw a pass in Saban said.

BY BRITTON LYNN Senior Sports Reporter [email protected] Although Alabama brings the Southeastern Conference’s third-ranked scoring offense to Baton Rouge, La., this weekend, LSU brings arguably the toughest defense the Crimson Tide will play all season. The Tigers are first in the league in total defense, and they hold the top spot in passing defense (149.5 ypg), which ranks fourth nationally. “This team has an uncan- ny knack for being in the right place at the right time,” said senior quarterback Greg McElroy. “It’s a credit to their execution as a defense and also their talent level. I think they do a good job of antici- pating. They do a good job of just making things difficult for the wide receivers on the edge and they definitely pose a pretty big threat on the defensive front.”

GAMEDAY Reliving the tradition with By Jordan Eichenblatt Contributing Writer Bart Starr

November 4 Bart Starr is best known for being the starting quarterback for the NFL’s Green Bay Packers when they wonQ the first two Super &A Bowls. But before heading north, Starr had a very successful career

with the Crimson Tide. The former Alabama quarterback talked

with GameDay earlier this week about his football career.

GameDay: Coming out of high school, you wanted to play for Coach Bryant at Kentucky, and then you wanted to go to Auburn. How did you end up at Alabama?

Bart Starr: I was leaning towards Bear. My high school coach named Bill Mosley had played for Bear, and he was very strong in favor of me going to Kentucky, and I would of gone in a heartbeat. When I discovered Cherry was going to Auburn, it changed my feelings, so I wanted to go to Alabama and continue to spend time with her. It worked. After my sophomore year, we married and she helped me through school, making me focus.

But when he got there, it was like waking up to bright sunlight compared to rainy days. GD: What team did you always look forward to playing?
