Yeah, it seems running zone keeps everything in front of the defense, so I would expect to see some form of it on Saturday. (Saban stated earlier in the week that they would be looking at this game differently.)

Saban has a "Fire Zone," which is one-high coverage where the corners play aggressive man on the outside, while still allowing for a moderate rush inside.

I believe everyone has done some form of this against the air raid thus far, aside from Bo Pelini. He did have the unfortunate circumstance of facing them right out of the gate, though.

Arkansas showed the SEC how to stop Leach's O. Aggressive zone. Keep the ball in front of you. Simple as that. 6 picks including 2 for pick 6's.

I think Odem figured it out pretty easily.
