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.

If Bama stacks the box, their secondary will struggle some. Menzie is their best corner and Dre Kirkpatrick is a liability in man coverage. He's great as a zone CB, but really struggles in man coverage.

Their safeties are very very good, but are bigger in run support than in the passing game. It's still tough to pass on them, but that has a lot to do with their pass rush than anything.
