This has become a far too familiar scene the past few years — another season-ending injury on defense. This time the afflicted is Dylan Moses, the Tide’s starting Mike linebacker. Moses was having a great offseason and fall camp. He was ready to be a leader of a defense licking its wounds. He was going into this season a first-round projection, with each play and every game making him potentially richer.
Then, on the Tide’s third practice of the regular season, he suffered an ACL tear. He is listed as “out indefinitely,” but that is a season-ender.
