Title: "Alabama defense 101: nickel = Star, dime = Money, DBs = LBs"

Usually there are many stars on the Alabama defense, but there is only one Star.

Last season, that player was cornerback DeQuan Menzie. In 2009, cornerback Javier Arenas was a star as the Star.

Huh?

Alabama calls its standard 3-4 alignment its “regular” defense, but the Crimson Tide regularly lines up with more than three linemen and less than four linebackers...
