When one tastes success in anything, it wants more.

Alabama’s defense has tasted success with takeaways in the last five games.

llThe Crimson Tide has forced 15 turnovers since the South Carolina matchup. Kane Wommack is seeing his 4-2-5 “Swarm Defense” not only take the ball away from opponents, but it is creating pressure too. It forced 12 takeaways against four Southeastern Conference school — South Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, and LSU — and recorded its first touchdown last week versus Mercer on a 66-yard fumble return from Zabien Brown. The true freshman cornerback picked up a forced fumble by DaShawn Jones — a transfer cornerback from Wake Forest — and took it to the end zone in the Tide’s 52-7 dominant win.
