you know how many times we heard this shite from Ole Miss? Seriously!
sorry but Bama is not Ole Miss. If we line up in a power run and run straight at them, it is going nowhere fast. 3 and out everytime. Take a look at their front 7 then add Collins into the box, not going to just line up and be successful running at that.

But they completely dominated Arkansas
arkansas held bama to 10 first downs, 2 cooper catches for 22 yards, and 66 rushing yards.
bama had 227 yards TOTAL in that game. Arkansas fumbled a ball into the endzone and missed an extra point. those two mistakes cost them the game...

What in the world does that have to do with Bama's rush defense?

Now I think you're drunk.

arkansas had more yards in passing and rushing than alabama.
but they were dominated? they lost by 1 point and had a fumble into the end zone. they should have beaten alabama

The thread is about Bama's rush defense (and an assumption that they are overrated because of a weak schedule) and Bama's rush defense dominated Arkansas.

It doesn't mean Arkansas' rush defense didn't dominate Bama as well, because they did.
But Bama held a team who at the time was averaging 316 yards a game on the ground to a total of 89. That defines domination.

They are far and away the heaviest front 7 in the country
So because they're fat, they can automatically stop the run?

teams have success against bama going to the outside it seems like. spreading their fat arse lineman out.

Alabama better be ready. It's coming right at them.
This is a great game plan against teams that can't handle the physicality, but lately, it hasn't been working vs. Alabama.
UA has the size and strength to go toe-to-toe with the best power-running teams. I favor a more varied, multidimensional attack (at the very least, as an option if you find yourself stymied in the power game), which is something that could be accomplished through the air, or with misdirection/deception in the running game (although I think this is something that needs to be consistently a part of an offense to be polished to the point of reliable, efficient, decisive execution). In my opinion, the power-running game is the best foundation that an offense can have, but it shouldn't exclude strategical variations that play off of it, and work to complement it -- otherwise you're limited to a slugfest, and the Alabama D is built for slugfests.

BAMA period is overated

Yea a power run game plays right into Alabama's strengths defensively. Just for example, the last 4 games vs Alabama, LSU's rushing game;
1.4 ypc
2.8 ypc
3.6 ypc
1.4 ypc
I'm not predicting similar results or anything, but it's going to take way more than 40 runs up the middle to produce against Alabama.

what about 55 runs? because that is what is coming
Posted on 11/6/14 at 9:43 am to monsterballads
Not the formula for success against Alabama. You probably won't even run 55 plays if you run the ball that much.
