I have never had one so I dont know how much time they take to heal 100%, but this is the worst possible time for something like this for him and Alabama.

They can take a while to heel. Just depends on what type of treatment you're getting.

Drastically changes Bama's game plan next week. I think Julio ends up getting more and more involved and becomes their best option to get the ball to a playmaker should Ingram not be able to go

I don't think it will change the game plan all that much, Richardson is more than capable and was a big factor in Bama winning yesterday. Obviously they would like to have both backs healthy but I'd say they will be able to run most everything they normally do. The one thing they might not do is the wildcat, unless they do something crazy like put Arenas back there.

Dude is crazy fast, if he gets a block look out.

It seems like a lot of people have been there forever. Seems like Mt. Cody is a 10 year vet

True, maybe Saban is on to some kind of eligibility loophole

It hurts, but RB isn't an area Alabama lacks skill at. Bama's special teams (Arenas, Tiffin) and McElroy's play will determine if they can win this game. When those 2 areas have been strong for Alabama, they have flat out dominated opponents.

Trent Richardson was good yesterday in place of Ingram against Aburn. But Florida is a different deal entirely.

Their defense plays fast, and for playing as fast as they do they're suprisingly not out of position too much
