Alabama Football: After scrimmage Nick Saban looking for defensive depth

One scrimmage into the 2019 season, Nick Saban is not satisfied with his Alabama football team. Among the many team issues concerning Saban are depth and not enough players who are capable of playing winning football.

Alabama football fans may share Nick’s concerns but they would be more alarmed if the coach was praising his team. An unsatisfied Nick Saban is comforting to most Tide fans.

After Saturday’s scrimmage, Nick Saban reminded the Tide has had the most player turnover over the last two rosters, than ever in his Alabama tenure. Counting the 12 summer enrollees, the 2019 Crimson Tide roster will have 47, first or second-year, scholarship players.
