Title: 'Bama's SUPERsized linebackers, the strength of a tenacious defense...
Post by: #1Tidefan on November 02, 2011, 03:10:19 AM
"They have the best -- and biggest, most physical linebackers in the country," says one of the rival coaches in the SEC. "That's what jumps out at you. That's the biggest difference between Alabama and everybody else. They have (Dont'a) Hightower and (Courtney) Upshaw and those are NFL guys who you just can't match up with. They're 265-pound guys who move like 230 pounders and you just don't see that in college. Most teams have never had one guy like that. They have TWO."
