linkAlabama linebacker Dont'a Hightower expects the Tide to have an improved pass rush this season.With the inexperience back there, it comes as no surprise, but when talking with players now, they feel like an area that the team lacked ferocity and consistency was the pass rush.
Alabama ranked sixth in the SEC with 27 sacks for losses totaling 177 yards. During Alabama’s 2009 national championship season, the Tide collected 32 sacks for losses totaling 265 yards.
