A 2006 squad that was forced to play with three down linemen most of the season because of depth issues lost almost all of the candidates, which made the position even more depleted by the time Saban took over. Dominic Lee, Jeremy Clark and J.P. Adams, who took the majority of the snaps at nose tackle last season, have all graduated. With vir- tually no tackles returning, and the only one who has logged snaps — Lorenzo Washington — injured, Saban was forced to make a posi- tion change. Freshman Byron Walton is also a candidate at nose tackle, but like Washington, he has been limited in the spring because of injury. Third-string center Brian Motley made the switch to defensive tackle, with Saban’s praise, the players’ praise and scrimmage statis- tics seeming to indicate the move was a great one. “It’s a little bit more physical, a lot more responsibility,” Motley said. “I feel a little bit more comfortable at defense. When I came up I played center, where I never played before. “I had a hard time snapping and getting on blocks and stuff. With defense I can just fly to the ball. I didn’t have a problem with offense; I was just having trouble at center. I can play either one.” Motley recorded 11 tackles, including three for a loss during the first scrimmage, and has been running with the first unit all spring. “He is a strong and determined kid,” defensive end Wallace Gilberry said. “He switched to defense and has been excellent. He has good enough feet to come over to defense and play tackle. He has done a tremendous job.” Behind him, however, the depth is shaky. Converted offensive linemen Joshua Curry and Layne Rinks line up behind Motley. Saban experimented with another offensive lineman during the first half of spring practice. He moved Taylor Pharr from his tackle position to defensive tackle, but three practices later, Pharr was back with the offensive linemen. Former middle linebacker Matt Collins has also been moved to the defensive line. CW/ T.G.

Knight sat on most of last season with a heart-murmur related issue. The linebacker depth is almost equally as troubling for Saban, who will employ a scheme that uses four linebackers at least part of the time.

  • The Following Players Comprise the College Football Great Teams 2 Card Set
    COLLEGE FOOTBALL GREAT TEAMS OF THE PAST 2 SET ROSTER The following players comprise the College Football Great Teams 2 Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set. See below for a more detailed explanation of new symbols on the cards. 1971 NEBRASKA 1971 NEBRASKA 1972 USC 1972 USC OFFENSE DEFENSE OFFENSE DEFENSE EB: Woody Cox End: John Adkins EB: Lynn Swann TA End: James Sims Johnny Rodgers (2) TA TB, OA Willie Harper Edesel Garrison Dale Mitchell Frosty Anderson Steve Manstedt John McKay Ed Powell Glen Garson TC John Hyland Dave Boulware (2) PA, KB, KOB Tackle: John Grant Tackle: Carl Johnson Tackle: Bill Janssen Chris Chaney Jeff Winans Daryl White Larry Jacobson Tackle: Steve Riley John Skiles Marvin Crenshaw John Dutton Pete Adams Glenn Byrd Al Austin LB: Jim Branch Cliff Culbreath LB: Richard Wood Guard: Keith Wortman Rich Glover Guard: Mike Ryan Monte Doris Dick Rupert Bob Terrio Allan Graf Charles Anthony Mike Beran Bruce Hauge Allan Gallaher Glen Henderson Bruce Weber Monte Johnson Booker Brown George Follett Center: Doug Dumler Pat Morell Don Morrison Ray Rodriguez John Kinsel John Peterson Mike McGirr Jim Stone ET: Jerry List CB: Jim Anderson TC Center: Dave Brown Tom Bohlinger Brent Longwell PC Joe Blahak Marty Patton CB: Charles Hinton TB.
