TUSCALOOSA -- Dont'a Hightower feels better than he did a year ago, even a few months ago.
If you ask about his health, Alabama's senior linebacker rapidly fires a monologue that rips away at the inquiry with words such as "better" and "good" and "100 percent."
Last spring, Hightower really began the big climb to recover from a from a major knee injury that robbed him of almost his entire sophomore season.
Now Hightower is fast, furious and ready to lead the Crimson Tide defense the way many always believed he would.
"I just feel like this defense is going to be back to where it needs to be," Hightower said. "Not necessarily about me making the plays or me making the big hit but more or less about me being able to push my teammates to make that extra step to beat me to the ball before I get there, to beat me to the interception. I feel very confident in this defense this year."
