Colt is incredibly accurate and seems to excel in short range (5-7 yrd) passes which doesnt leave a lot of time to get to him. This is the one area that concerns me the most about this game. If he is completing those its essentially like us running the ball and controlling the clock. Also while we have a very stout defensive front and Dareus may end up being Suh like, he isnt Suh and we do not have someone who causes mismatches like he does.

The pressure is going to have to either come from the LB's or off the edges with Javy which leaves an opening for screen passes and short crossing routes if they dont get there untouched.

All in all I think Bama matches up well with them but there are some things they could potentially exploit.

Its about coverage more than anything. I mean there were some times where Nebraska was in McCoy's face before he could do anything but there were a lot of times where he was forced to hold on to the ball longer than he wanted too because his receivers were covered and then the pass rush got to him.

FWIW I think Nebraska is better at getting pressure with four guys than we are but overall were a better defense and I think we can cover their guys.
