TUSCALOOSA, Ala.— Alabama's opponents have reached the red zones six times this season through the first two games, and the defense has only allowed one touchdown in those six trips.
"So I look it up and it’s actually, I think it’s an African Bantu language word that means hold fast the line," Wommack said. "So I thought, what a fitting chant for a red zone defense, right? To hold the line. So we talk about that, doesn’t matter how they get down in the red zone, whether we’ve turned the ball over and whether they’ve gone on a 16-play drive and it’s first-and-goal from the five-yard line, everyone has to Yibambe, we have to hold fast the line.
"We have the mindset that we don’t care how we can on the field, it’s about how we get off the field," Moore said Tuesday. "We gave up a touchdown in this last game, and we don’t ever want to do that. We’re always hard on ourselves. We don’t really want our opponents to score at all. I think that’s our mindset whether we’re in plus territory or they’re in our territory, we don’t want them to score at all. So that’s our mindset every time we take the field.
