It hasnt been as bad all year as it was yesterday. Not only is that running back a stud, they have some serious talent on the offensive line at Tenn.
Bama will be the same. Its not going to be easy. If we stack the box, they will burn us deep. I guess we need to hope they mess up

Stack the box, double Smith play man everywhere else and pray Metchie only beats us deep a couple of times.

Some bad snaps would help.

If Pappoe tip toes up in his gap and let’s linemen come to him like he’s been doing, Harris will run for 300 yards

Alabama is putting up ridiculous numbers this year. If we commit to stopping the run, we likely get burned by the passing game. Still, I think it would be better to risk that and just stack the box.
I think our only real hope is to shorten the game and and try to counter by making the most of our offensive possessions by having long sustained drives.

I don't disagree but this isn't really our specialty. Going to be even more difficult if Tank can't go.

Need another pick 6 or two to keep this competitive.

I think Alabama needs to give us 3-4 possessions (TO's on offense or special teams) for AU to have a shot.

Agree. We are going to need to play great and still need them to make a few mistakes...

Steele’s gameplan was the reason for AU giving up so many rush yards. He spaced out the DTs apart more than they usually are and the DBs played more zone coverage than any game Steele has coaches since he’s been here. Tennessee is actually pretty good with deep passes that’s why the CBs played 10-15 yards off every play and tenn took full advantage of it by running quick out routes and dig routes etc. They picked up multiple first downs but the point was to limit the deep shots which it did. The bad was giving up multiple easy completions and first downs, the good was the pick 6 and giving your DBs a better chance to make a play downfield. As for the run D, the DT being spaced out means nearly every play an Olineman will go unblocked and get to the second level immediately, that means out 6’0 230ish pound LBs agains 6’5 320+ Olineman and your asking them(Owen&Zakoby) to shed that lineman plus make the tackle. As talented and tuff as Pappoe and Zakoby are there’s not much they’re gonna be able to do when an Olineman comes at the immediately and isn’t even the lead blocker. Steele should’ve kept the zone coverage in the secondary but kept the DTs inside like usual so it would be easier for the LBs to come in and clean up like the should. Britt and Zakoby were great at it. Trues and Newkirk are capable of holding there gaps it’s the 2’s Z.Walker and even sometimes Colby tend to play the DT position like there still at the DE position and allow gaps to form in the middle. Would’ve been a big help if the 2 jucos played like we thought they would

I think after watching UT trucking us on the ground, I don't feel good about our run defense.
Alabama w/ Harris will pound us if they want to, with the lack of bulk up front at at the MLB spot. It looks like we have to safeties at the lB position.

Other than sneak into the Offensive huddle and tie all their shoestrings together?
I'm at a loss ...

I checked into a hotel in Seattle. on a Business trip. My Rep's business card said "Vice President Al Gore" because that was his name and he was the VP of the Rep Agency.
The girl behind the counter says ..."Well, you'll get a kick of this. Reaches under the counter and hands us her name tag ..."Tonya Harding" Laughing , she looks at me and asks ...because I'm leaning to look behind the counter ..."What are you looking for?"
"Looking to see if you have a baseball bat back there too."
