Christian Barmore will ‘play more and more’ as Alabama goes, according to Nick Saban

Alabama football was without its best interior pass rusher versus Missouri, despite a 38-19 victory.

A minor knee injury cost Christian Barmore an opportunity to play week one, but the redshirt sophomore returned to the Crimson Tide’s defensive line last week against Texas A&M.

He did not record a single number in the stats column; however, Barmore was involved in pressuring Kellen Mond in the pocket.

The 6-foot-5, 310-pounder was just happy to be on the field inside Bryant-Denny Stadium with his teammates again. Through 12 games in 2019, he totaled 26 tackles, six tackles for loss, two sacks, five quarterback hurries and two pass breakups.
