There was a point in the 2020 National Championship Journey that the Alabama Defense became an asset. I think it was the 2nd Half vs. Georgia. Only Florida scored more than 24 after that shutdown of the Dawgs. Saturday Night felt like another jumping off point for Pete Golding’s side of the ball. QB Sacks and Pressures. Turnovers. No major mistakes. Nick Saban told us last night that Defensive Play Caller Henry To’o To’o continues to grow into his new situation, “I think Henry has really added to our group in is his ability to communicate and help other people be confident in doing the right things.” A showdown with Auburn seems to be brewing, if this defense gets right and stays right like in 2020, the ride to Atlanta will not be as bumpy as first expected.
