Alabama will need to win the Iron Bowl in order to have a chance at reaching the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff. First, they will have to fend off one of the best pass rushes that they have seen all season long.
The Tigers are led up front by edge rushers Jalen McLeod and Keldric Faulk. The duo has combined to record 86 tackles, 14 sacks, and one fumble recovery.
Alabama’s offensive tackles have struggled to neutralize elite pass rushers this season. South Carolina has arguably the best pass rush in the country. The Tide surrendered three sacks to the Gamecocks.
