Here's the TS article about the scrimmage

Quote

Based on the statistics that resulted from The University of Alabama's second scrimmage of spring drills Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium, one might assume the Crimson Tide's offense delievered the sort of field day similar to what it posted in last weekend's scrimmage.

Assume wrongly, that is.

Fewer missed tackles. Fewer missed assignments. Fewer big plays allowed.
Those were a few of the points Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban made clear in post-scrimmage remarks, and with one of the Southeastern Conference's top defenses returning mostly intact, it wasn't unexpected, either.

T.G. Paschal
UA linebacker Dont'a Hightower led the Crimson Tide defense with 10 tackles in scrimmage work Saturday.
"I thought the first defense was a lot better today, which we needed to be," Saban said. "That's a good thing. But we still have areas where we need to develop depth in terms of what we're doing, so we have more players that can make a contribution."
