re: Saban: I'm not worried about Alabama's defense

I understand the depth at LB can cause defensive issues but our front four not getting more pressure than what they do is my biggest concern. We just got busted for 144 yds rushing not against an option team but against a team that just lined it up and ran it down their throats.

You really need to call up Sean White and see if his guy can hook you up with some Xanax 'cause you're stressing way too much.

Over half (75) of those yards came on CSU's last two possessions of the game with Bama up 41-10 when the first one started. Even then, both of the TD drives were aided by multiple penalties. Here's who accumulated those penalties:

Christopher Allen (15 yd personal foul) - Arrived in August true freshman linebacker. Did not play against FSU. Recorded no stats against Fresno State.

Jamar King (5 yd offsides) - Senior defensive end. Did not play against FSU, one tackle against Fresno State.

Isaiah Buggs (15 yd roughing the passer) - JUCO defensive end. 2 tackles against FSU, did not play against Fresno State.

The guys on the field when "We got busted" for all those yards were on the field to get experience and build depth. The fact that they didn't play as well as the starters and backups elevated to starting because of the injury situation shouldn't be a surprise, didn't really seem to bother Saban, and shouldn't bother Alabama fans.
