Former Alabama LB C.J. Mosley vents frustrations over brother’s lack of playing time in Iron Bowl

Alabama’s undefeated season came to an end Saturday, and one former Crimson Tide star was unhappy with the lack of playing time given to his younger brother.
C.J. Mosley, star LB at Alabama from 2010-2013, tweeted following the Tide’s 26-14 loss to Auburn to express disappointment that his brother, Jamey Mosley, was not used in the contest. C.J. pointed to the fact that his brother contributed while Alabama dealt with a number of injuries to the LB corps but was not used in the most important game of the season.
Jamey Mosley did play in 11 games this season after appearing in just five last year. He recorded 13 total tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss this year while stepping up as a number of key defenders missed time for the Tide.
Here is C.J.’s tweet:
Bro been holding it down all year since the injuries came and now in the most important game he doesn't get one snap. Fuel to the fire G. Pissed the F off!

The elder Mosley was a two-time All-American and finished his Tide career with 317 total tackles and five interceptions. He may have been upset about the playing time for his younger brother, but the biggest issue for Alabama seemed to be on the offensive side of the ball in the loss to the Tigers.
