Title: Tide's Hightower back to his old self Post by: 2Stater on August 26, 2011, 08:13:33 AM http://www2.eprisenow.com/sports/2011/aug/26/tides-hightower-back-his-old-self-ar-2323026/ Quote Dont’a Hightower doesn’t slosh anymore. Last year, when he’d meet the media after practices, Alabama’s linebacker would have both knees heavily iced and wrapped. When he stepped among reporters to be interviewed, it sounded like the bottom of a near-empty cooler after an afternoon at the Talladega speedway No more. Teammates, even head coach Nick Saban, said the junior has looked like “the old Dont’a” throughout training camp. His explosiveness and quickness are back. And the extra pounds he played with for much of last season are gone. Very, very good news.

I'll give him until mid-late 2nd quarter.

This is good to hear. I kept thinking he was playing a little too heavy last year, and it might have slowed him down a step. (along with the injury, of course) Title: Re: Tide's Hightower back to his old self Post by: cbbama99 on August 26, 2011, 09:38:37 AM What's the over under on how many minutes Kent State's starting QB is physically able to remain in the game?
