You think bama has an amazing secondary? They aren't as good as UF.

Really dude have you watched bama's secondary? Ole Miss went for 350 and 3 scores on them. Literally they had around 40 yards of rushing so bama knew they were throwing and couldn't do shite.

UF was the best secondary we have faced or probably will face for the remainder of the year. UA should be much better in their defensive backfield. Part of it is that teams are able to isolate their best and tallest WRs on their Corners on the Island and Bama's pass rush may be a step late on putting pressure early in the game.

It seems though that as the game goes on their DL starts wearing down opposing OLs and they are able to get to the QBs and pressure them into mistakes. Hence, they make their DBs look like better football players than they are. UA just may have athletes who have not yet learned how to be complete football players as far as being corners or safeties.

Yeah - I'm feeling better about the game because of our performance against Florida - Florida's DL is comparable to Bama's and their secondary is better. The big deal we haven't faced yet this year is a linebacking corps like Bama's, particularly Ragland and Devall. If we can manage that - run effectively against them (particularly on first down), protect on blitzes and complete passes on them in the short zone against that group, we'll be fine. OP is correct that the WRs will have to do their part - no freezing in the headlights or a case of the dropsies, just because it is Bama and on the road.

bama's strength is rush defense... not secondary
