Alabama's practices can be the most competitive part of the week, as the undefeated, top-ranked Crimson Tide have rolled through their competition to this point to a 13-0 record and a bid to the College Football Playoff.

With the nation's top-ranked scoring, total and rushing defense going up against the 13th ranked scoring offense, practices can get a bit heated. Star defensive end Jonathan Allen says the defense takes pride in not only stopping the Tide's offense in practice, but that they actively try to get offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin yelled at by Nick Saban.

"Coach Kiffin, he gets real competitive so he tries to scheme us a little bit, but feel like we do a good job," Allen said. "As a defense you try to get Coach Saban mad at him and try to get him yelled at in practice."

How often are the Alabama defenders successful in getting Kiffin yelled at?

"Oh all the time," Allen said with a smile. "All the time and we love it. I'm sure you guys have seen those on the TV, that's exactly how it is in practice."

As Saban has so eloquently described, those are not arguments they are "ass-chewings," and the Alabama defense enjoys when they're the reason Kiffin's catching heat from coach.
