So far, their O-line has been mentioned as being inconsistent. What are some other 'Achilles heels' they may potentially have that teams haven't exposed yet?

I feel like if you can contain Henry and force Coker to win the game with his arm, there is a chance their offense breaks down to a degree. This would also necessitate good DB play.

There's certainly a way to beat them as they already lost to Ole Miss albeit early in the season.

My thinking with O&B glasses:
They only beat A&M by 18. A&M scored the second most points against them this year. I feel like our O most closely resembles A&M out of all their opponents.

I would not consider bama's oline anything but a relative weakness. They are pretty solid with at least 2 sure NFL talents and 1 more who will likely get drafted.

The QB has been inconsistent but that was weeks ago really.

I don't see anything defensively that would give us an edge. I suspect it is going to be tough for our O this week.

We need them to turn the ball over at least 3 times and it will probably need to happen on their end of the field. We could also use great ST returns.

Make the Qb beat us... Coker has been inconsistent throughout the year and there's no reason to let Derrick Henry beat us. Stack the box and make Coker throw the ball.

The pass is their weak spots on both sides of the ball. I think our defense is good enough to slow down their pass game but I don't think we're good enough against the run to be able to make them throw. On offense, Sean White could hurt them if our WRs decide to grow some hands. I don't have any confidence in Johnson against a Bama defense. He'll shite his pants on the first drive.

Overall, we don't have the pieces to beat them without a little help this year. Their defense is too good.

Basically try to limit Derrick Henry and hope our Db's can make some plays on the ball.

Win TO battle and hope that Sean white plays.


Well that was more of a keys to victory than anything, but Coker is their only real weakness.

We do not have the linebacker play to exploit their OL weaknesses.

17 and 8 will NEVER jam their heads into the play. They backpedal and try to run around 365b lineman and make the tackle 7 yards downfield.

It will be a LONG day for our defense unless 30 and 26 play the game of their lives.

Who do we need to food poison before the game? Thats really the question. Henry, Coker, Ragland, who else?

I agree. The defense as a whole is no where near physical enough to slow down Henry.

Make Henry run lateral by clogging the middle. Throw alot of deep balls and run read option and mid direction over and over. I expect to see motion all day and please don't sub wr every play.

There weakness is passing game - both sides. Pass rush isn't that great either which is why we need Sean white bad.

Dude... Their pass rush has been dominant this year. Maybe in years past it was an issue, but not this year.

Ahh I thought passing teams had most success which usually means not a great rush
