Since he became Alabama's starting center late last month, Bradley Bozeman has seen plenty of change around him. Each week, during some segment of a game, there seems to be a different combination of players working next to him.

On Saturday, Bozeman welcomed Lester Cotton back into the fold. Benched on Sept. 17 against Ole Miss after starting the first two games at left guard, Cotton was deployed at right guard in the first quarter of Alabama's 48-0 victory over Kent State. He replaced Alphonse Taylor, who committed a false start penalty on the Tide's second possession and would later return to action.

Against the Rebels, Taylor had entered the starting lineup at that position, which was previously occupied by Ross Pierschbacher. Pierschbacher moved to left guard and has settled in there. At least it appears that way.

"We're still not totally satisfied with the inside three guys and how they play together," Alabama coach Nick Saban said last Monday after the victory over Ole Miss. "We're going to continue to have competition at those positions. I think that's as much as I can say about it - although I do think the line played better."

On Saturday, the blocking front continued to perform well. The Crimson Tide conceded only two sacks and averaged 6.2 yards per rush attempt, trampling the Golden Flashes despite not featuring many exotic runs.

"I think everybody did a very good job," Bozeman said. "People will rotate in and you will have to roll with it. Everybody worked really hard today and I think we did a very good job up front."

As for Cotton, Bozeman said the sophomore lineman played well.

"I thought he did very good," Bozeman said. "There was no drop-off between him and Shank. We'll just have to keep rolling them in."
