After surrendering the most passing yards of the Nick Saban era in 2014, the 2015 Alabama defense will have to tighten up its issues in the secondary to help earn a return trip to the College Football Playoff.
On a team loaded with talent, sophomore cornerback Tony Brown may be the key player in improving the secondary and bringing another national title to Tuscaloosa.
Last season, Cyrus Jones was able to lock down one of the starting cornerback positions in the Tide's defense while the other cornerback spot seemed to have a revolving door.
Brown, Bradley Sylve and Eddie Jackson all got chances at cornerback, and all three had more than their share of struggles, as the Crimson Tide gave up 3,164 passing yards in 14 games.
