re: What do I hope Alabama fixed this week?

Hate to breath it to you, but you can't fix major issues in a week at this point in the season. It is what it is.

Wrong answer. Concepts, assignment tweaks, formation modification can all be done on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday. Some form of that happens most every week.

Right answer (well to some extent) for the RT being destroyed. If we assume we are not going to be able to run right with much success unless we add an additional blocker to help the tackle...then we can go to a lighter/longer RT for pass protection. Our road graders at right tackle can't seem to grade the road and do not have the athletic ability to pass pro a speed rusher.

Would it work? No clue but I doubt it would be much worse than what we have now. Forcing an edge speed rusher to go one step wider would give BY the extra time needed to get the ball out for catch&run design plays.
