Exactly, Bama has just enough talent that even though our team is built to give them trouble, and we have, they have enough in the tank to beat us. Saban has built a real machine down there.

I think part of why Bama has had to work to put Arkansas away the last two years is that Kiffin loves the home run ball, and if you play up tight on the Bama WRs there is a good chance he'll hit one on you. Arkansas has their DBs play so far off they might as well be in the parking lot which makes the deep pass more difficult to pull off.

Ideally you want to throw some short passes and medium routes over the middle (our LBs are not the fleetest of foot) to bring our safeties and CBs in, and then go over the top.
