TUSCALOOSA, Alabama – Junior inside linebacker Nico Johnson saw his role grow Saturday in Alabama’s 38-10 victory at Florida. Johnson normally plays in the Crimson Tide’s “regular” 3-4 defense but is replaced by sophomore C.J. Mosley in nickel and dime defenses. But Mosley was out with an elbow injury, so Johnson filled in as as inside linebacker on the nickel defense. Alabama coach Nick Saban was pleased with Johnson’s performance. In this video, Johnson talks about his extended role.
