What weaknesses would you expose?

Ole Miss defense should try lining up Nkemdiche on Leon Brown. He is the weak link of our oline right now. Another thing I'd do is double cover Coop. Make anyone else except Coop beat you. Our other WRs haven't proven to be consistent, White hasn't exactly lit the world on fire. Jones will go through games where he couldn't catch a cold, and Chris Black/Sims/whoever else we'd put in are unproven.

On offense id try to attack Nick Perry when in zone. I'd also try to get in man to man coverage against Cyrus Jones to see what would happen. Probably test Tony Brown a few times. There were times in the UF game where TB could've been taken advantage of if they had a more capable qb. TB is young and will take his lumps. I just hope it's not in this game.

I'd also try to establish Evan engram and moving him around to see which linebacker will follow. I imagine he will get his fair share of targets in this game.

On defense I'd press Bama's WRs all game long. Play a Safety over the top on Coop. If Howard is in line and goes out on a pass pattern, have DEs press him. Then shoot the gaps right up the middle and force Blake to make a quick decision, eat the sack, or try to escape.

On offense I'd use a lot of ghost sweeps and toss action while attacking the middle with the ground game. I'd match up one of my big WRs or Engram on Cyrus Jones and throw him a lot of back shoulder throws. If Nick Perry is the deep Safety I'd consider taking some deep shots. If LC is the deep Safety I'd avoid it unless someone was wide open. Finally, I'd get Engram behind the LBs. DePriest and Ragland can't cover him, and I'd exploit that all game long.

For Bama?

I'd take the run away and double team coop for the offense. For the Defense I'd dink and dunk with some heavy run game thrown in.

Not run the ball once. I would throw bombs until a few finally stuck. Air raid.

On defense I would double team Cooper, play man on everyone else, stack the box and blitz constantly

Against the offense, I would test C.Rob early and often to see if he folds like most freshman would. Second, I would force Sims to target someone besides Coop, which is easier said then done against a WR with his ability. Third attack Leon Brown and the interior with stunts.

Against the defense, I would take advantage of TDP and Ragland's lack of athletic ability(compared to CJ's and Ro's) and attack the middle with short and mid range passes. Lastly, I would try to create a size mismatch against Cyrus and see if that could gain me a touchdown or two.

Have Nkemdiche tell our whole O-line that he just got back from visiting Mama in Nigeria, and then start sneezing all over them.

• bracket Cooper all day and force somebody else to beat you
• to beat Saban you have to stay out of third and long, so ideally you'd like to establish a run game. Gonna have to run Bro at least 10 times to make up for what they lack at RB. If bama's defense can sit back and wait for the pass then it's gonna be a long night. Probably try to mix in a bunch of shovel passes and options. OM throws a lot little dump passes too.

I would make sure someone on defense was responsible for shadowing Sims. He may end up being Bama's leading rusher in this upcoming game.

Zone blitzes on the strong side and force Sims to the weak side. Tight man converge in the secondary and put Pruitt in pass coverage support and ball hawking.

Wear our D down with off tackle runs/pulling guards. Make hay with the deep ball when our D is gassed.

Of course, what I know about football and $1 might buy you a Coke.

They've been successful with the money when it comes to recruiting, but nobody outbids the REC for ref services. I checked my account tonight, and the check cleared, so

I think OM will attempt to put pressure on Sims via the rush, they don't play the line like we do. I think this will be their undoing. Sims will leave the pocket and make them pay.

Defensively there isn't much they can do schematically because we run so many different formations. How many times did we see Nudie, a FB, out wide against UF? How many different places has Cooper lined up? Drake out wide with a LB covering him is just unfair. Howard and Vogler have also been split out wide a few times this season. Those things put so much stress on a defense it's ridiculous. Freeze will just have to preach assignment football and getting the guy to the ground when they get their hands on him.

Offensively they have to at least try to establish a running game between the tackles. If they can't, Smart is just going to send the house with crazy blitzes every opportunity and rattle Wallace. They have very talented WR's, but if they can't make us respect their running game, they have no shot.
