One thing I did not initially notice during the national championship was Shyheim Carter (#5) replacing Tony Brown in the second half. After Brown gave up the 80 yard touchdown to Mecole Hardman, Carter came in the next time Alabama needed six defensive backs on the field.
While I only counted three snaps for him (may have missed one or two), that’s still three valuable snaps in the most important game of the year.
3rd and 6: Alabama’s in their dime package. Minkah Fitzpatrick (#29) is lined up on the slot receiver, and Carter is on the tight end, Isaac Nauta.
