Most teams won't move Alabama's front. You have to mix up the plays. Keep them on their heels, guessing, and having to cover sideline to sideline.

Our problem in the past was trying to constantly test the interior (tackle to tackle).

That ain't gonna work my friend against 300 lb., 5 star linemen, and 250 lb., 5 star linebackers.

You gotta run around those guys from time to time. Make em chase you. Run mis-direction, and connect on short passes to the RB's and TE's.

You ain't beating Bama very often by trying to play smash mouth football.

This is a fact. You can have a great OL, but Bama will still have the most dominant front 7. You have to beat them with scheme. The former coach never accepted this. Last season, with O and Ensminger we still weren't ready to out scheme Bama. This season with Canada we are.
