I expect they will be just fine.
When I watch us play teams like Clemson and Florida State up close and personal at BB&T field, the thing I notice is if it went for different numbers on the jerseys, you'd have a hard time recognizing the starters from the backups at most positions. The body types are usually about the same, the size about the same, the skill level are usually pretty close to the same too. I imagine with Alabama that's even more evident, so losing players to graduation or early departure, just isn't going to be the big deal it is to most schools. I remember last year against Clemson at home, they brought in the back up d-line and other than the numbers, it looked just like the starting d-line from the eye test at least.
