I think Saban will eventually have to go to a 4-3 to cover the spread HUNH teams as more teams start running it.


The 3-4 is actually more ideal - just not his version. Besides he uses a 4 man front 75% of the time per his own words. His problem is getting his personnel groupings out there. In any base, you need hybrid athletes.

Bama played with at least 5 DBs on the field just about every play against A&M the last two years.

Outside of the annual three yards and a cloud of dust bowl against LSU, they are in their nickel packages more often than not. That is true for most defenses these days.
