Their D is better than OM statistically



OM has better Pass defense and scoring defense.

Bama has better rush defense and total defense.



Bama's offense is pretty overrated especially when on the road. Their running game is nothing like it has been in years past and their passing game relies mostly on easy bubble screens and quick passes. If we can shut those down and keep Blake Sims from making big plays with his legs we can win this game.

Bamas defensive weakness is with balanced offenses that can make plays in their secondary. The issue will be theey do have the ability to load up and stop the run. Jennings will have to be able to make plays for us to win. Offensively the mobile QB aspect concerns me. They will be able to move the ball running and screens along with cooper deep. We will need to get 20 points I believe to win. We are much improved, but they seem to be improving as well. They are one of the few teams that have the depth and physicality to play our brand of football with us. I would imagine they are a slight favorite but I do like our chances with a young QB and it being a night game in Tiger Stadium. Should be electric once again and it definitely makes a difference. Bo knows.

9th in the country in total offense. They did struggle in their first couple of road games, though one was against the Ole Miss defense. They turned it around last week though. As for the running game, they're still averaging 218 a game on the ground. For comparison, LSU averages 225.
