With A-Day behind us, we finally got our first look at an Alabama defense that is without Pete Golding as the defensive coordinator for the first time since the 2018 season. Schematically, there’s not a whole lot to talk about, they always go very vanilla during the spring game. However, I did notice a few things:
-They predominantly ran cover 2 in the secondary, rather than Saban’s usual preferred Cover 7. Some comments from Saban made this seem like it may have been intentional to see how the QBs responded.
-Steele blitzed a LOT for an A-Day game.
