re: ProFootballFocus grades Bama-LSU

Easily a top-three unit in the nation, the Crimson Tide defense has zero players with at least 90 snaps below +1.1 and no starter sports a worse grade than +5.1. The defensive line is anchored by NT Jarran Reed, our fourth-best DT/NT at +37.0, while the second level is manned by ILB Reggie Ragland (+21.4, fifth in nation). With depth and productivity, Alabama’s defense overpowers their opposition and getting into a slugfest is a bad idea. I’d be foolish to not mention situational pass rusher Tim Williams who has 28 total pressures (five sacks, four hits, 19 hurries) in just 75 pass rush snaps.
