Alabama needs a greater pass rush from its defensive line in 2020

7.5

That’s the number of sacks the Alabama defensive line recorded in 2019. It’s the fewest of the Saban-era. In fact, in each of the previous four seasons, the Tide had at least one defensive lineman who had more than 7.5 sacks by himself.

2018: Isaiah Buggs (9.5), Quinnen Williams (8)

2017: Raekwon Davis (8.5)

2016: Jonathan Allen (10.5)

2015: Jonathan Allen (12)

Christian Barmore led the line with 2 sacks; Justin Eboigbe had 1.5. No other defensive lineman had more than one.
