Alabama fans sound off on defensive struggles against Florida

Nick Saban holds Alabama football to a high standard, but Crimson Tide fans everything to a higher standard.

The supporters of the football program were not happy with last week’s performance.

Defensively, Alabama was dominated by Florida’s offense, despite earning a 31-29 victory. The Gators totaled more first downs, rushing yards, and total yards than the Crimson Tide, and a failed two-point conversion was the difference. Alabama hosts Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss in two weeks at Bryant-Denny Stadium, and fans are concerned. Mississippi was one of two teams that recorded 40+ points on the Tide in 2020, and Kiffin wants this opportunity to beat Coach Saban.
