Do you think the Alabama coaches are openly practicing for Auburn this week (by openly I mean telling the players we are put in practice / gameplan for Auburn)?

I really believe, Alabama could spend one film session and one practice on Chattanooga and get by. Might not be a pretty win, but I believe Alabama could run base offense / base defense, and win relatively comfortably. Do you think that is an accurate assessment?

I seriously wouldn't mind seeing no more than a quarter from any starters this week (in part to prevent injury, in part to prevent a stupid ejection in the second half costing a player game time against Auburn).

How do you think Alabama prepares the next two weeks in terms of practicing for Chattanooga, practicing for Auburn? Keep it normal (Chattanooga this week, Auburn next week)? Or get a couple of extra days on Auburn this week?

Apparently Chatt is not playing several starters due to injury - we'd be wise to do the same.

I hope Alec Morris takes at least 3 series worth of snaps. Would be nice to see what he's got.

The coaches may spend this week reinforcing fundamentals and correcting mistakes and spend next week preparing for Auburn.

Probably accurate. Treat it like a bye week basically (self-scout and work on fundamentals in week one, gameplan for Auburn week two) with maybe one film session and one practice for Chattanooga gameplan.

I'm sure the coaches will be pretty much game planning for Auburn the whole time, but I am sure Saban wants the players to focus on Chat.

Players will watch plenty of film but probably as much film of ourselves from last week just learning from out own mistakes. The O line needs to be firing on all cylinders for AU and we cant turnover the ball and give them opportunities to capitalize off it. AU has a good D line and we need to control the LOS and just make long drives and wear them down.

Yeldon
Coop
Vogler

....and any other dinged up starter should sit this one out or come out the game when up by 2 scores. No need in getting someone hurt in a game like this.

Star some of the young pups like Tenpenny, Grant Hill, Leon Brown, Reuben, Dillon Lee
