With so many critics and calls for change this season, the Alabama defense orchestrated by coordinator Pete Golding has been building off of each week throughout the entire season.
Following an embarrassing output against Ole Miss where the unit surrendered nearly 650 total yards of offense and 48 points to a young Lane Kiffin led squad, the Crimson Tide’s defense has shrunk its opposing team’s point totals and improved key areas it struggled at during the start of the season.
Head coach Nick Saban had been clamoring all season about the defense’s need to improve at getting teams off the field on third down.
