It's true.

It's not the same D that he dominated with a few years ago... but it might be better.  He's revamped the D, the recruits, to address Bama's past difficulties with HUNH offenses.

So in addition to the teamwork, this might be another reason Saban is enjoying coaching this year.  He's got the defense right.   :)

... and enough depth to keep the line fresh.

FINALLY the DBs are getting healthy.  Last year they never did.  Now we've gotten most all of them well again.
