Title: Tide has a starting quarterback ... on defense Post by: ssmith general on August 08, 2011, 07:35:10 AM Quote TUSCALOOSA, Alabama - News flash: Alabama has a starting quarterback. "Sure. Dont'a Hightower," defensive coordinator Kirby Smart said Sunday of the junior inside linebacker. "He's the guy." Oh, you were thinking offense? Think again. Offensive coordinator Jim McElwain flashed a grin on the only day of the year - barring an appearance at a BCS bowl - when any assistants on coach Nick Saban's staff meet with the news media. "The good thing is, we will play with a quarterback this year," McElwain said. "We can go ahead and put that to rest." http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/08/tide_has_a_starting_quarterbac.html (http://media.al.com/sports_impact/photo/9873236-large.jpg) Title: Re: Tide has a starting quarterback ... on defense Post by: Jamos on August 08, 2011, 07:59:49 AM Hightower is the key to this defense, he is much more than just a player to the team on and off the field.
