Raekwon Davis did a celebratory strut toward the end zone, his right index finger over his mouth as he looked ahead into the Superdome crowd.
That's how the first quarter ended last Monday. Kelly Bryant on his back. And Davis celebrating his latest sack during this breakout sophomore season for Alabama's 6-foot-7, 305-pound defensive end.
While not as big of a name as some of the Crimson Tide's other defensive players, this Mississippi product continues to establish himself as an important player along that Alabama defensive line and as one of the Tide's most promising young players.
