On last week, Alabama football featured two true freshmen on its defensive line and both played very well.
With veteran players such as LaBryan Ray and Phidarian Mathis being banged up, Nick Saban gave Jamil Burroughs and Tim Smith an opportunity versus Georgia. The duo arrived on campus in February as four-stars after posting successful high school careers. Both players contributed high energy, effort and focus in helping the Crimson Tide shut the Bulldogs off the scoreboard in the second half. Burroughs and Smith assisted in limiting Zamir White to 57 yards rushing on 10 carries, while pressuring Stetson Bennett to throwing three interceptions.
