'20 Recruiting Forum: Official Alabama Pregame/Game Thread

It’s a sad state this week. I’m not even seeing the silly “I have a feeling” threads. Everybody seems to pretty much know.
 
I actually think we fight hard vs bama but they are way too explosive on offense this year... but I don’t think we get handled all game... I’m kinda sad that 2 will be starting but I understand if 15 is not quite ready yet I still want to see 18 he gives us a spark... bama 38-27
 
Our secondary is good but their wrs are stupid good. I think we stop Harris for a bit and I think we make it uncomfortable for Mac for a bit as well (till we go 3 and out a few times and our D gets tired) but their wrs will open it up for them.

JG looks better at first, and we score and then make a FG, but that’s when we will start crapping the bed.

I’d say we will see two QBs in the first half, and if they don’t produce we will see Bailey start the 2nd half and keep it safe.

I’m worried about Alabama’s favorite route..... the Slant....

Why do we not do this?
Because we aren’t a passing threat. It is rarely open and when it is open it isn’t thrown well enough for our guys to run after the catch.

You essentially want this route when the LBs are cheating up or playing too far back, and you need a guy who is fast enough to out run the safety or CB who is on them.

To have any chance of keeping it close. We have to run the ball tomorrow. Bleed the clock as much as possible before every chance. The 18 Helton game plan against UF where we ran every first down would be a good idea. Only let JG propel the ball wherever he's going to on 3rd down.

Yes, let’s be as predictable as possible 👍

That stuff only works if the other offense can’t score instantly..... which.... isn’t the case with Alabama.
 
Offense: Throw bombs all game. Go for broke.

Defense: Sell out to stop their passes. Make em run it and make long drives and convert 3rd downs. Make them do what they would rather not. Frustrate them. Piss em off.

See what happens.

Bring extra cigars.
