The South Carolina defense has shown it can put pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
Dylan Stewart and Bryan Thomas Jr. lead this charge. Thomas has four sacks on the season, and Stewart is right on pace with him with 3.5 sacks.
Alabama was able to keep Ty Simpson upright on Saturday night against Tennessee, who entered the game leading the SEC in sacks as a team. The Tide were less effective against Missouri, who got to Simpson four times a week before.
The Alabama quarterback is now taken it upon himself to not let the pressure he may feel Saturday put the Tide offense in bad positions.
