Last week, we looked at the best offensive position groups in the conference. Starting with the front seven today, we begin examining the defense.
Best of the best: Granted, Alabama’s front seven probably won’t be as good as it was the last two seasons. And how could it with the likes of Jonathan Allen, A'Shawn Robinson and Reuben Foster gone? But even after losing that much talent and even accounting for a slight dip in production, it’s hard to find a better group than what Nick Saban and defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt will have to work with.
