Disappointed does not even begin the conversation, in terms of Alabama fans sharing their emotions on last year’s defense.
Many factors played a role in the Crimson Tide not being as dominant as it is known for. Injuries was one of those aspects, seeing how inside linebackers Dylan Moses and Joshua McMillon both suffered season-ending mishaps in August camp.
On top of this, LaBryan Ray (defensive end) sustained a foot injury three weeks into the campaign and DJ Dale (defensive tackle) got hurt as well. Regardless of the injuries, Tide fans noticed a lot of shuffling and substitutions on the field.
