Dallas Turner is growing as Alabama’s next special pass rusher

Will Anderson is an established force in college football, but Alabama fans saw something special versus LSU.

Dallas Turner, a true freshman, grew up in a marquee Southeastern Conference game. He’s been starting in place of Drew Sanders (hand) since the Texas A&M game. The sophomore from Texas saw action against the Tigers; however, Turner grabbed the moment at Bryant-Denny Stadium to emerge. He brought energy and effort on defense, especially during the second half.

The 6-foot-4, 245-pounder recorded two of the five sacks Alabama had of LSU quarterback Max Johnson. Turner made Johnson uncomfortable all game.
