re: Why does everyone think Bama will just run all over OU?

Dude.....we're all aware of the talent Bama has amassed on it's roster. But this team is who you are and will be who you are going forward. It's built to put the onus on the OTHER teams to "keep up", not grinding them down with a power rushing attack or play "ball control". It's a complete script flip from the previous Bama model of offense.

Alabama has played a passing offense because it can. Make no mistake, this offense is very balanced, and if the pass was there, they threw (and with 5 outstanding WR they threw it a lot) However make no mistake that Alabama can be a power running team. With multiple running backs that are big, strong and like to hit, Alabama takes out teams.

Against one of the best defenses in the country (UGA), Alabama averaged 4.7 yards running the ball......

The biggest problem is that OU will have to prepare for two completely different QB


Oklahoma needs to hope Alabama turns the ball over several times (like the last time they played) to have a chance.
