They way to stop it is to build your defense with length and speed, a 4-3, and alot lighter in the arse than Bama does
Now, that will keep yall from having the freak dominating games yall do against traditional offenses, but it will allow you to play steadier when you do face the RPO teams

Shaun Dion Hamilton (ILB) - 6-0, 232 lbs

Ronnie Harrison (SS) - 6-3, 216 lbs

We got burned by Ole Miss and Clemson last year because their QB's were making great throws and great decisions and our CBs got beat 1-on-1 by big, excellent WRs.
We weren't getting run ragged all over the field like Manziel did in 2012. That really doesn't happen to us anymore. Precision spread passing against 1-on-1 coverage has been our undoing.
