There's nothing wrong with him voicing his concerns. Especially when they're valid because Freeze has shown the tendency to tighten up in big games.

I've got faith that he's learned his lesson, though. He did say that they won't be altering the game plan for Bama this year.

Bro, just pull your wiener out and start tugging it like the rest of us

that Freeze will be stubborn and stick to a failing running game for the sake of balance instead of going balls out hunh air raid.

After that post you should never ever question anything I ever post again. Okay that out of the way let's talk about what is Ole MIss and CHF has in front of him. Last year he had a QB with a noodle for an arm with and ego that tried to cash checks he couldn't physically do. Add in the fact that our OL was marginal at best. This year he has a QB that thus far seems to not only have the physical tools but good instincts to boots (granted all vs cupcakes). Additionally even without Tunsil our OL seems to be playing much better. I think he knows he will have to spread the field vertically in order to loosen up Bama's front to the run. Thus I really doubt you'll see a ultra conservative performance like Ole Miss had last year in Red Stick. Capisce?

If Bama comes out in their typical Cover 2, (which the should to respect MGK to Quincy and Core) they will put 5-6 guys in the box to stop the run. That leaves only 3-4 guys across the middle to pick up a combination of the Twin Towers on screens, and TEs and slot receivers on slants, plus the RB in the flat. That's basically single coverage on short routes. If MGK has the patience to, as he says, "dink and dunk" all afternoon, we can move the ball on slants, screens, swings, drags, and out routes. And eventually the safeties will get impatient and creep up.

We don't need a running game to beat Bama. We just have to have the threat of one. If Bama comes out and shows three across the front, and has 4 LBs standing up 10 yards behind the LOS, they will basically be daring us to run. And we will give them a steady diet of pump fake-delay handoff.

The past several years Saban has moved away from the 3-4. But even when they come out in a 3-4 package, it's not their game to stand everyone up in pass coverage. They like to line up big and smash mouth.

CHF has the gameplan to beat Alabama. And for this first time ever, we also have the athletes to beat them.

I'm afraid we score too much and the SEC fines us.

So, you think it's possible that CHF will run the ball 45 times uselessly up the middle against an 8-man front?

It's not unheard of

Yeah about once a year I admit I am like what was he thinking (Bama 2 years ago and the 2nd half at DV last year) but you can say that about every HC in the country. You make it out like he is Les Miles or something.

Lets just hope he trust kelly with the long ball and use that.. we have not had that in years..

Hotty Toddy! Let's win it all, Rebels!
