Bama is going to come out passing. They may even score on the first drive because it is usually scripted.

I think we have some advantages in the passing game if they decide to stick 8 in the box. I like Bama's secondary, however...

We have some very dynamic playmakers.
1)Randle - the Best WR in the SEC
2)OBJ/Shep - 2 of the most dynamic Playmakers around
3)D. Peterson - Sure fire Rec. TE that will create some mismatches.
4) Assortment of extra WR to fill a role, Boone/Wright/Landry.

Bama is at a disadvantage in the WR category.

Yeah, Bama throws alot on first down, 44%. More than LSU does.

They are usually safe throws. But safeties coming up def make it easier on McCarron. Hopefully Claiborne and Mathieu/Simon can stick their men.

But the most important part of coverage will be making sure we can cover their TEs and RBs coming out of the backfield, thats usually where they get big plays in the passing game.
