Alabama legend frustrated with Crimson Tide’s lack of toughness in the trenches

Will McLelland - USA TODAY Sports

Alabama football is struggling for a second straight week to establish toughness up front.

Both sides of the ball got manhandled versus Vanderbilt and have been handled by South Carolina. John Copeland, one of the greatest sack specialists of all-time for Alabama, is very frustrated. He called out the Crimson Tide on social media, stating this team ‘lacks the Nick Saban toughness.’ He also said ‘this is not the Pac-12,’ taking a shot at Kalen DeBoer’s former program.

Alabama is trailing 14-19 to the Gamecocks as the fourth quarter starts.

A turnaround needs to happen now.
