Alabama coach Nick Saban was happy to leave the Swamp with a 31-29 win over No. 11 Florida on Saturday, but he couldn't overlook the performance of his defense, which struggled to stop the run and get off the field on third down.
The Gators racked up 258 rushing yards against the Crimson Tide and converted on five third downs. It was just the fifth time an Alabama defense under Saban gave up three rushing touchdowns in a game.
"What concerned me most is we could not maintain our intensity, especially on defense," Saban said.
