Alabama has been in this spot before, searching for a quarterback as it heads into a season, and usually it has worked out just fine.Coach Nick Sabans Crimson Tide has won four national titles since 2009 and three of those championships came with a first-time starting quarterback running the offense.So when talking about pivotal players in the Southeastern Conference, dont be so quick to mention Alabamas starting QB, whoever that might be. History suggests the Tide will be OK.No one player will ever hold the fortunes of a team and, notwithstanding Alabamas unique situation, the quarterback is going to be really important for every team. No need to name them all. With that said, here are six players who will play a big role in determining how things shake out in the SEC this season.Nick Chubb, RB, GeorgiaChubb was one of the best running backs in the country, right in the conversation with LSUs Leonard Fournette, when he blew out his knee last October. The sophomore was averaging 124.5 yards per game. New Bulldogs coach Kirby Smart said he expects Chubb back by preseason camp but hedged on when he will be fully ready to roll and if he will play in the opener against North Carolina.Now Chubbs very capable backup, Sony Michel, is expected to be out six to eight weeks after breaking his arm. And the Bulldogs are unsettled at quarterback and receiver. The difference between a successful first season for Smart and a bumpy transition could come down to how soon Chubb is back to being the player he was before the injury.Gregory Little, OT, MississippiLaremy Tunsil is gone, leaving an NCAA mess and a big hole at left tackle behind in Oxford, Mississippi. In the 305-pound freshman from Texas, coach Hugh Freeze hopes he has another plug-and-play five-star lineman.The Rebels used redshirt freshman Alex Givens and senior Jeremy Liggins, a high school quarterback-turned-tight end and now 300-pound lineman, at tackle during the spring, and could even move center Sean Rawlings back outside. But getting Little established on quarterback Chad Kellys blind side could make a huge difference.Josh Dobbs, QB, TennesseeThe Volunteers are favored to win the East as coach Butch Jones rebuild appears to be nearing a peak. Dobbs has already established himself as dangerous dual-threat (2,291 yards passing, 671 yards rushing, 26 touchdowns accounted for) for a potentially powerful offense.The question is whether he can take the next step from good to great player by improving his accuracy (59.6 completion rate) and ability to stretch the field. It could be the difference between the Vols playing for an SEC championship or a national championship.Daylon Mack, DT, Texas A&MThe Aggies already have maybe the best defensive end in the country in Myles Garrett. Paired with edge pass rusher Daeshon Hall, Texas A&M has one of the best combos in the country outside.Defensive coordinator John Chavis is hoping former five-star recruit Mack, who shed 25 pounds in the offseason to weigh-in at 315, can blossom into a steady run stuffer in the middle of a defense that ranked near the bottom of the league against the rush (5.01 yards per carry against).Carl Lawson, DE, AuburnIts a given that the Tigers need to solve a quarterback problem that was a big part of what ruined last season. Maybe JUCO transfer John Franklin is the next Nick Marshall? But for the second straight year Auburns defense was bad (5.37 yards per play allowed and just 19 sacks), and having a healthy Lawson could help change that.Lawson missed all of 2014 (knee) and much of 2015 (hip), but has the potential to solve Auburns pass rush problem.Antonio Callaway, WR, FloridaThe sophomores status with the team is murky. Callaways attorney says he has been held out due to a university conduct code issue. Coach Jim McElwain again this week said its still unclear when Callaway will be part of the team again.Solely from a football standpoint, the Gators are lacking established playmakers, breaking in a new quarterback and could really use Callaway, who averaged 19.4 yards per catch last season.Extra pointEight more pivotal players: Brandon Harris, QB, LSU; Kody Walker, RB, Arkansas; Alex Ross, RB, Missouri; Matt Elam, DT, Kentucky; AJ Jefferson, DE, Mississippi State; Ralph Webb, RB, Vanderbilt.---Follow Ralph D.

The StarCraft II tournament at IEM Season XI Gyeonggi has progressed through group stages and quarterfinals, and now we have come to the final four. In the first semifinal, Lee INnoVation Shin Hyung took down Park Dark Ryung Woo, 3-2, in the quest for the $15,000 first prize.Dark has proven himself the best Zerg in the world and a macro master while his former teammate INnoVation was on the verge of claiming the title of best Terran; the winner of the set was considered the favorite to take down the entire event. Although Dark had just defeated 2016 World Championship Series champion Byun ByuN Hyun Woo of Team Expert in the quarterfinals, his ZvT ended up falling short against ByuNs longtime idol. INnoVations signature strategies of mass mech play and bio rally pushes were perfect for the new Legacy of the Void multiplayer patch, which addressed issues with many Terran mech units. The matchup was predicted to go the entire distance, and it lived up to that expectation.INnoVation took down Dark with mostly one strategy and build. Although a consistent strategy can be a weakness because of its predictability, INnoVations ultra-efficient style carried him to the finish line. He entered as the tournament favorite and has borne out that prediction so far.Game 1: OvergrowthIt was a clash of macro and micro on the first map between Dark and INnoVation. Darks macro play allowed him to create multipronged attacks for both economic harassment and pincher movements against his opponents army. INnoVation countered with mass mech play and early aggression; however, Darks superior economy allowed him to upgrade his units quickly and his ability to surround INnoVations armies proved to be the difference for the win.INnoVation 0-1 DarkGame 2: Vaani Research StationINnoVation started the aggression with a hellion and cyclone push. Although Dark defended the attacks, he lost timings foor his macro play and economy and lost map control as a result.dddddddddddd. INnoVations supply and worker count were ahead for the majority of the game and he used the advantage to create a massive mech army for the game-winning push.INnoVation 1:1 DarkGame 3: DaybreakDark took the initiative on game three with a fast roach and ravager attack, but INnoVations quick control dispelled the push and delayed the Zergs macro game. INnoVation counter-attacked and took down Darks third expansion to assume complete map and economy control. Dark sealed his own fate with a failed counter-attack as an answer, leaving his defenses with plenty of holes. INnoVations superior economy and his larger mech army allowed him to force through the defenses for the third map.INnoVation 2:1 DarkGame 4: Habitation StationDark put on a macro clinic in map four and returned to the multi-pronged attacks that led to earlier success. INnoVation continued to push out mech armies for the fourth straight game, but it bit him in the end. Dark took advantage of multiple concaves and attacks to confuse and surround INnoVations main mech army with ravagers and roaches. INnoVations mech army could not take the necessary casualties to justify his expensive army and Dark marched on to the final map with the victory.INnoVation 2:2 DarkGame 5: WhirlwindINnoVation went all-in with an early aggressive push to end Darks hopes for the grand finals. Dark countered with baneling drops and queens for defense, but INnoVations all-in proved deadly. After only six minutes, INnoVation crushed through the last of Darks defenses for the finish.On Saturday, Kim Stats Dae Yeob will play Han ByuL Ji Won to determine who will face INnoVation in the IEM Gyeonggi StarCraft II grand finals on Sunday.
