Part Two: The Alabama Football defense will have to do more in ’21 than it did in ’20. Let’s review the linebacker position group.

This is the second of a three-part series on the 2021 Alabama Football defense. Part one discussed the ’21 secondary. Parts two covers the linebackers and part three will focus on the defensive line.

The 2020 Alabama Football defense did not get much love. The Tide’s defensive reputation remained sullied all season after giving up 48 points and 647 yards to Lane Kiffin’s offense. Despite being lit up by Ole Miss and Florida, the ’20 Defense posted solid stats for the season.
