Regardless of Alabama fans needing the offense to do much of the lifting this season, Nick Saban has already mentioned the “all hands on deck” mentality on defense. 

While Jarez Parks, Eyabi Anoma, Cameron Latu and Ben Davis are all being challenged to provide contributions at outside linebacker, two freshmen under co-defensive coordinator/inside linebackers coach Pete Golding seem to have the message down.
