During an offseason in which Alabama’s quarterback competition has kept a question mark hovering over the Tide’s offense, it was the defense that exited Friday’s first spring scrimmage facing questions
Nick Saban walked off the Bryant-Denny Stadium field and spoke about his defense allowing too many explosive plays in the closed-doors scrimmage, needing to improve its tackling and not forcing enough turnovers. The “offense was great,” Saban made clear, but there was no such praise extended to the defense.
Judging by Saban’s comments, the results left something to be desired. But one of the players on the field Friday, third-year cornerback Terrion Arnold, expressed optimism Monday about what the Tide’s defense can do this season. From 2009 through 2017, Alabama’s defense held the title as the SEC’s best every season except 2014. In the five seasons since, the Tide has topped the conference only once — its national-title 2020 season — while Georgia has taken the crown three of the last four seasons.
This defense this season will be coached by Kevin Steele, re-joining Alabama’s staff as defensive coordinator after Pete Golding left for the same position at Ole Miss. In speaking to ESPN last month, Saban referenced both new coordinators — including Tommy Rees offensively — getting players to play with more discipline.
