3-5 sacks? Alabama is one of the worse in the sec in sacks. They rank 100 with 11 on the season. LSU has 20 and is ranked 22nd.

For the most part, they haven't needed to sack anybody given their creampuff schedule.

But we know, and they know, Mett is slow afoot and they'd rather try to sack him than play coverage.

The 3-5 sack guesstimate is based on him hopefully going down and taking a sack before risking interceptions.

Alabama has never been a huge sack team while Saban is there. The rely more on putting pressure on the QB to make mistakes anx stuffing the run. I love sacks myself, but I'd take constant harassment on the QB all game over 3 sacks a game. We had both of these every year except the last two. We got tons of pressure last year, buy couldn't make the sack. We've gotten a decent amount of sacks this year outside of UGA, Auburn, but we can't get consistent pressure in the backfield. The one thing that would make this defense a force is getting pressure consistently with only our front four.
