I'll take em both. Gonna be two good defenses in Tuscaloosa FOR SURE. Gonna need The General and Jefferson both to get some points on the board.


Yeah, no question these are both great defenses.

Honestly our advantage this game will be, and I never thought I'd say this in a million years, is our advantage at QB (referring to both guys).

NO DOUBT. Feels weird saying that but Bama's QB ain't impressing anyone. I'm betting JJ will find some hard running yards with a surprise pass here or there(i wouldn't be surprised to watch one of these go a LONG way) and Lee will get tougher conventional passing yards.

Yes, there it is.

We can beat Bama at their own game. They don't have a mobile QB, whereas we can move the point of attack and still keep the ball on the ground. This is why having Jefferson was so important. And even though he is obviously an inferior choice through the air than Lee, he can still throw the ball, and even more effectively on first down than Lee.

Both teams will attempt to force the pass, and we're better equipped to do it. More and better downlinemen. Alabama's strength is farther off the ball (LB). And when they compensate by crowding the box, we can take better advantage of this situation than they can of us.

Just the way I see it.

Their biggest advantage, IMO, is going to be the home field and all the events surrounding the tornado. Some of those emotional driven intangibles that can make a difference when everything is on the line.
