Nick Saban details issue Oklahoma’s defensive line presents Alabama

Nick Saban feels the Oklahoma defensive line will challenge the Crimson Tide in the trenches on Saturday.

The Sooners have one of the best defensive front sevens in college football. They are great at stopping the run and getting after opposing quarterbacks with a great defensive line. Saban feels this group will keep Alabama’s offensive line on its heels.

“But the one issue they’re going to have tonight is Oklahoma’s very athletic,” Saban said on ESPN’s College Gameday. “They’re going to move a lot. So, the offensive lineman doesn’t know if this guy’s going to step and strike and butt him in the throat.
