What if I told you that the teams that had the most success against Alabama football this year ran the football?
It would be surprising considering this has been a staple of Coach Nick Saban’s defense in shutting down the run. But the weakness in the Alabama defense has been found in running to the edges.
Going into this season the main concern for the Alabama football defense was its inexperienced and young secondary. Even with suffering the loss of its best corner in Trevon Diggs, the Tide’s secondary has risen to the challenge in pass coverage so far this season.
