"As Alabama and Virginia Tech prepare for their season opener, both do so with some uncertainty. For the Hokies, it's obviously how their backfield will perform without Darren Evans. For the Crimson Tide, the program is coping with the recent news that starting defensive lineman Brandon Deaderick was hospitalized in good condition Tuesday after being shot in the arm during an apparent robbery attempt. There hasn't been any official statement released yet from Alabama, so it's not clear if he'll play.
Alabama is also waiting for a resolution in the Julio Jones-Mark Ingram fishing trip that Alabama officials have spent all summer investigating. Both players are listed as No. 1 on the depth chart and have been practicing with the starters, but it's possible they might not play if this situation isn't resolved. If you're Alabama, better safe than sorry at this point.
Things are adding up in favor of the Hokies. Alabama will be breaking in a new quarterback and a revamped offensive line. Those on-field questions, coupled with the looming uncertainty of the investigation into the fishing trip, and now the shooting should make Crimson Tide fans uneasy and Virginia Tech fans a little more confident."
