Good article by Tony Barnhart about why Alabama is now going smaller on the dline. Uptempo offenses designed to not allow Saban to substitute his pass rushers for space eaters on 3rd down. So instead Saban is countering with more athletic players with stamina to stay on the field for 3 downs. The days of Terence Cody at 340 lbs seem to be over.
