Saban will not let us run the ball. He will sell out and put (8) in the box..and blitz us to death. Remember years ago losses to Georgia, Florida, and Texas were due to the passing game beating Saban's defense. Our receivers will get one on one coverage they just have to beat it and Lee must deliver. We will know at the end of the 1st quarter if we can hang.

There's other ways to beat the blitz. We have to roll out the pocket and run those sweeps (to Holliday preferably) that'll keep the blitz honest.

We're pretty fast on offense. If we can force them to respect our speed to the outside, it'll make them tentative to send the house.

But really, we just need to get off to a good start. Both UF and UGA started in the worst possible way, and we never recovered.

No mistakes early so we don't play from behind.
