Tide's Offensive Line a Success Story

by Jim HenryFiled under: Alabama, Auburn, SEC AUBURN, Ala. -- It just might be Alabama's biggest success story this season. For an offensive line that lost All-Americans Andre Smith and Antoine Caldwell and opened the year with three first-time starters, the Tide's unit has come together just fine this season, thank you. The O-line will get another opportunity to show off in Friday's Iron Bowl against an Auburn defense that ranks last in the SEC in scoring defense (27 points per game) and ninth in total defense (359.2 ypg). "I don't know if it was as much of a motivating factor as much as we just knew that we had to come to work," senior left guard Mike Johnson said of preseason questions surrounding the line and if those concerns served as motivation.Tide's Offensive Line a Success Story originally appeared on Fanhouse NCAA Football Blog on Fri, 27 Nov 2009 06:00:00 EST .
