re: List the first 3 plays you would call vs Bama

off target a bit, but plays that should work (and thus be saved for, say near midfield, to get into scoring range):

Swing pass to RB, preferably on second down (Saban likely to blitz a corner). Should get us into scoring range.

Ware under center with Ford at RB, Landry split wide to the left: Ware takes a step to the left, appearing to aim off tackle. Instead of the pitch to Ford (who's running as though he will get it), Ware throws a quick slant to Landry. If Bama is playing to stop the pitch, a completion could be a TD. If it's covered, Ware can run into the line for a couple. (I think we see this in the redzone, but it might be more effective in short yardage near midfield).

Play 3- Line up regular, then shift the formation to put Shepard in the true Wildcat, and have him point at players during the shift. Guaranteed to make Saban burn a timeout
