re: Alabama Offense : A tale of 2 Halves

Opp Adj Defensive PPD
-UGA (7)
-Florida State (11)
-Bama (14)
-A&M (19)
-UT (33)
*LSU (103) ...

Our defense tracks very closely to Florida State, against whom LSU went for 24 points and 459 yards total offense.

What I believe went wrong for LSU is they couldn’t sustain drives because they were only running the ball for 4 YPC whereas FSU was hitting them for 11 YPA and an incredible number of explosive pass plays even with some of the DBs who are out Saturday.

Bottom line, LSU is easily the worst P5 defense we’ve played YTD even before looking at their injuries. They give up big plays all over the field and somehow aren’t any good at rushing the passer effectively.

I expect them to spy Milroe meaning they will stretch their coverage even further and we will have guys open all over the place against a truly horrible and inexperienced secondary.

This game will come down to whether our defense can get a couple stops/FGs and whether Milroe is ready for the big stage or not because playing one half of football against arguably the best offense in CFB isn’t gonna cut it.
