re: Bama won't win the NC without a vertical passing attack.

The 2 years Bama threw the ball all over the field in 2013 and 2014 they were awful on defense and had poor offensive lines. If Bama is throwing a lot it's because they are deficient in other areas and are trying to compensate.

If Bama doesn't win it all this year it will mostly be because their 2 best pass rushers in Chistian Miller and Terrell Hall/Lewis were both lost for the season in game 1.

Jalen Hurts still has a lot of improving to do, but Bama is 18-1 when he takes the majority of the snaps. In the 1 loss he scored a go ahead td with 2mins left.
