Alabama currently has the Number 2 ranked Defense in the country when it comes to the NCAA Total Defense Rankings. Bama is one of only three teams to allow only 2 touchdowns so far this season. No doubt Will Anderson (pictured above) and his teammates are playing at a great level, but (There is ALWAYS a but) the season really begins Saturday at Arkansas. The Hogs run games, The Speed of Texas A&M, then a trip to Knoxville to play Hendon Hooker. If Alabama is still in this rare defensive air after that stretch, we can start talking about some really special things. – Jim Dunaway
