Nick Saban had some dominant offensive lines during his 17-year tenure as Alabama’s head football coach, but last year’s group did not live up to its standard.
The Crimson Tide allowed 49 sacks and most came in critical matchups versus Texas and Michigan, where the Tide took two defeats. Kalen DeBoer, Nick Sheridan, and Chris Kapilovic have done a fine job of getting this offensive unit to gel better.
Alabama has allowed 17 sacks in 10 games, a difference of 32 in showing marquee improvement.
The Tide is also in the running for the Joe Moore Award that goes to the best offensive front in college football.
