It may be worth it at this point in the season to point out that every team scored on Alabama this season, yes even the so called cupcake teams. Every team that is but the nation’s then number three team, LSU. Herein lies the truth that his this defense, dubbed the “Nasty Boys”, is coming around and getting better, all at the right time.
There are various reason for this. Alabama’s bevy of freshmen and first year players are now 10 games into the season and are beginning to play like old pros. Christian Miller is now showing signs that he’s almost 100% recovered from his ailments and the blowout wins that Alabama has been having has given the twos and threes lots of playing time and that means that when they rotate in and out, there’s an almost no drop in what the defense can do and the production they have.
