Bama's D line has struggled to put pressure on QBs this year. I think you will see Bama control the line of scrimmage but I can't see them getting many sacks, especially against a mobile QB

The media doesn't want to bash a 10pt underdog. Not good for ratings.

That's because pressure usually comes from the jack linebacker and timed line backer blitzes, not the defensive line. Last years team had 30 sacks at this point of the season. This years team has 33 sacks. I don't think they have struggled at apply pressure. I just think they have not been as consistent and they are still looking for more from Hubbard as being that dominating pass rusher.
