As important as this matchup with Ole Miss is for Alabama’s rushing attack and defensive secondary, the Crimson Tide’s defensive line must show up too. After generating three sacks in week one against Missouri, the Tide failed to finish plays in the backfield on Kellen Mond of Texas A&M. In hiring Freddie Roach to Alabama as a defensive line coach, Nick Saban wants to see the front unit return to consistently pressuring quarterbacks. During fall camp, LaBryan Ray (redshirt junior) told local reporters he desires to see the defensive line get back to what it once was. Another opportunity presents itself versus Lane Kiffin’s team.
