10/12/20 - DT *Christian Barmore, rSo/2021, Alabama

Alabama's defensive problems seem more fundamental than simply Kiffin knowing what the Tide would do. There were plenty of reasons why the defense struggled last season under defensive coordinator Pete Golding. Injuries devastated Alabama, leaving the Tide with little depth and forcing unproven freshmen into key roles. Players said Golding had to simplify his defensive concepts, and ultimately, it didn't work. There aren't those ready-made excuses available this season. Linebacker Dylan Moses eschewed the NFL to come back and lead this defense. There is talent all over that side of the ball including multiple likely first-round draft picks in Patrick Surtain and Christian Barmore. Talent shouldn't be the issue with all of the five-star and four-star players stacked across the defense.

I've never seen an Alabama defense look worse than it did Saturday, and yet the Crimson Tide still somehow won. That's a positive though most Alabama fans will likely be focused on the defense's poor performance. Ultimately, if Alabama is going to achieve what it is capable of, it will need a lot more from its defense than it got against the Rebels. Maybe it will be as simple as changing the signals and calls, and we'll see a great defensive performance next week against Georgia. It's fair to say Alabama might not play an offense as good as Ole Miss' for the remainder of its SEC slate, and it can only go up from here. But excuse me if I'm skeptical that's all it will take for a defense that struggles as much as it did Saturday night. - Birmingham News
