Oh Alabama Crimson Tide football, your problems are quite different from everybody else's problems. While we feel bad for Dee Hart himself, as the prized five-star recruit will have to miss the entire 2011 football season due to an ACL injury, taking a look at the rest of Bama's backfield and seeing Heisman Trophy contender Trent Richardson ready to roll -- yeah, I'm not too torn up about Nick Saban's depth chart.
However, this does mean Alabama is without a possible change-of-pace and third-down back, and is down to only two scholarship running backs besides Richardson. The larger concern is that Hart's development could be impaired further into his career in Tuscaloosa -- Saban's Tide have a strong tailback legacy to continue once Richardson moves along to the NFL, and many have pegged Hart as the likeliest successor.
