Title: Tide 'D' forces the issue Post by: pmull on September 13, 2011, 11:22:46 AM A defensive meeting at Alabama never passes without the No. 118 appearing on video monitors.
Defensive coordinator Kirby Smart wasn't letting this group forget where it ranked among 120 Football Bowl Subdivision teams for fumbles recovered a year ago. Alabama scooped up two fumbles Saturday -- half its total of four all of last season -- in the 27-11 win over then-No. 23 Penn State. Both fumbles, in fact, came by the way of Kirkpatrick's helmet, and the two resulting Alabama possessions ended with touchdowns. http://www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/article/20110913/SPORTS0401/109130323/Tide-D-forces-issue |
