You haven't seen a serious pass rush by the Alabama defense because we haven't applied one. Penn State is the only ranked opponent we've played, and they have a mobile quarterback. Since Saban's been HC at Alabama, his defense has NEVER pressured a running quarterback. He's always played containment.
And why would we disguise the coverages and put serious pressure on Duke or San Jose State? The reason Alabama was so successful against Mallet last year was the confusing coverages, not the pass rush. How many times was he sacked last year? 2 or 3 times? Not like we had him on the ground the entire game. Now we did apply pressure without sacking him a bunch of times, but that's only because he was confused by the coverages and held the ball longer than he should have.
If you really think he's going to see the same defensive schemes that San Jose St and Duke saw in those blowouts, well, you're going to be in for a very long day on Saturday. Just make sure to let us know what Arkansas board you are a member of so we can find you after the game.
And one more thing, you won't find many people who wouldn't argue that Penn State has one of the best defensive lines in NCAA this year....and they were totally manhandled by our offensive line. So no, I'm not concerned with the sacks yall have racked up against un-ranked opponents.
