Defense is fine. Bama has 15 linebackers on scholarship. 5 missed the game and 2 are redshirting. That left 8 guys to play the 4 linebacker positions. 3 had never played with the first team defense. Maybe they learned something and a couple will be back this week. It's a good thing to get experience when you are up 41-10 over a team that will play in a bowl game this year.
