Alabama Defense Steals the Show | Birmingham News

Alabama’s defense is stepping up big time this season, turning heads even as the offense stumbles. Against Kentucky, they held the Wildcats scoreless in the second half, forcing a comeback win after fumbling three times in the first half. The unit delivered exactly what defensive coordinator Kane Wommack demanded — three takeaways, including a touchdown interception and two forced fumbles. They’re shutting down opponents on third down (just one conversion allowed in two games) and proving to be the rock-solid foundation Alabama needs. With Florida State looming this Saturday, this defense could be the key to another big win. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
