Will Pruitt do a better job than Saban / Smart at stopping Auburn's run game?

This isn't a trolling Alabama thread.

That out of the way, FSU Defensive Coordinator Jeremy Pruitt presumably learned defense under Saban and Smart. Is his coaching ability beyond theirs to stop the Auburn rushing attack? I'm thinking no. Does FSU have better athletes than Alabama? I don't know that answer.

Bama fans, what can you tell us about Pruitt?

I love the analytical depth of Jesse Palmer this the best defense Auburn will face. last week it was Mizzou,Alabama,Georgia and so on and so on.

He is good at holding clipboards and blowing whistles.

They don't really need to stop Auburn's running game. Bama's red zone offense, Cade Foster's shitty kicking and Saban's horrific coaching decisions cost them the game. A.J. also missed quite a few opportunities. In the drive where Cade Foster missed the FG after a penalty, A.J. had a wide open receiver in the end zone but he held on to the ball too long and wasn't able to complete the pass. Winston's a much better QB than McCarron. He's not going to waste those kind of opportunities when he gets them.

It's more about time to prepare than anything else. Any good defensive coach would be more successful against that offense after drilling the handful of plays over and over and over.

I think they have better corners than us meaning they will be able to allow their safeties to focus more on the run and possibly stop a lot of the big run plays that ate up us and Mizzou.
