Freshmen linebackers, UA defense stifling Blue Devils in the first half

Alabama football has a 14-3 lead on Duke at half time, the combination of Shane Lee and Christian Harris at inside linebacker is making Nick Saban look like a genius.

Despite the Blue Devils going with an option look, Lee sniffed out plays and filled running lanes in the first half.

A native of Maryland, the four-star totaled five tackles – including a big fourth down stop.

Saban mentioned in his presser on Wednesday that Lee was giving signals and calling the second-team defense, but he looks good with the first group.
