re: Containing Gibbs in the flats will be crucial

I'm more worried about the deep shots. Tennessee killed us with them and Ole Miss did early.

True. And Young is much better than Dart and is going to exploit what we give him. My guess is we will mix some zone to avoid big plays with occasional man and make them drive the field.

But Young is good enough to identify what we are trying to take away and pick us apart if we just sit in zone. Dart made some good throws early and was hitting crossing routes over the middle because the LB's were focused on stopping the run.

This is a good game to have Burns back as he can play centerfield. I think Garner and JBC can hold their own on Bama's best two WR's. But Gibbs and Latu (their TE) are going to be important to stop so they don't just move the chains and stay on schedule.
