re: Auburn will run all over Bama

I will be interested to know how bama plays it. From what little bits I have watched of Bama games this year, it seems their defense concentrates on a stalemate at the LOS rather than getting to a QB/into the backfield which often results in overrunning plays and, in the age of no barred holding in the SEC, doesn't usually get a defense to the QB all that much quicker. They also have CJ Moseley at ILB who is not just excellent in coverage but very good at anticipating and clogging passing lanes.

The Bama offense also has its full offensive complement of WRs and RBs, and UGA, once it got going, showed just how weak the AUburn D is behind the DL. Once AU had to keep up with UGA in the 4th, you could tell Nick Marshall was pressing and made poor throws and decisions.

It will help AU to rest up this weekend, but I am not sure it will make any difference in the game.
