Alabama’s defense handled a dual-threat quarterback (Justin Fields) to win the College Football Playoff National Championship last season, but now it has a different challenge.
It wants to prove that it has returned to its standard of being elite.
The Crimson Tide will have its first test in two weeks versus D’Eriq King and the Miami Hurricanes. Despite suffering a knee injury in a bowl game against Oklahoma State, King was responsible for 27 touchdowns in 2020– including four rushing scores.
He has provided much excitement for the ‘Canes, as the school and its fans feel like “The U” is back.
