Alabama Crimson Tide: Best in the nation against the run

The Alabama Crimson Tide know what it takes to win championships. To say that Alabama plays stifling defense might be the understatement of the century. They’re built on the line of scrimmage, and you can bank on the fact that year-in and year-out they’re going to be one of the best in the country, if not the best.

And that leads us to no. 64 in the Southbound and Down College Football Countdown.

The Alabama Crimson Tide allowed 64 rushing yards per game in 2016.

Technically they allowed 63.9 rushing yards per game, but it’s close enough.
