I never overlook any well coached team that wants to make history.

We however are a gritty, battle hardened bunch. They absolutely were praying to play Oklahoma.

Their best Defensive player is out. We can win this game. But we can’t give them easy outs.

I know they're very good on defense but not familiar with their personnel.

If they don't have a great individual edge pass rusher then we're not getting the worst matchup possible.

However we will definitely need better run threat than we have gotten. Well coached teams will eat that shite up if you are out of balance. Underrated element of the first UGA game is that we were going forward on runs albeit not consistently effective. We stayed committed to running and started popping 5-8 yarders in the 2nd half.

We probably need a game like that from our OL and backs. Just don't let these guys play the pass exclusively.

Our run opened up when we started hitting some plays down field. Safeties backed off, Hill has good vision just not great speed. He needs that extra second to dig in. Once he does, he is actually a good back. Drags dudes around.

Watch this from Indiana Vs Oregon. Ducks coughed the ball up twice and that’s the game. But just so you can see how they play.

Alabama is at a disadvantage there because our OL is truly awful.


This just isn't true. Our OL makes mistakes just like every other yet we constantly get told by even our own fans how ours is terrible.

Do you watch other games to see how other team's OLs are doing? Did you see what we did to Oklahoma's?

Did you see Indiana's OL get caved in by OSU?

OLs struggle; ALL of them. Not just ours.

The pressure is on Indiana. It's going to be the back breaking pressure that Bama teams of old were used to. DeBoer LOVES this type of game. It would not shock me at all to see Bama play their best game all year on Jan 1st.

Because it is terrible. They pass protect poorly. They run block poorly. They are among the worst units we have had this century and their only comps are from the Shula or Debose eras.

I could be wrong, but this Indiana team is giving me 2012 ND vibes.
