Obviously we must win this game with defense. I feel as we must do what they been doing us for the last 5 years.

Stack the box with 8/9/10 men. Make their WRs beat us in 1 on 1 coverage. Only way to win this game is if we make Hurts throw the ball. If Bama is able to run the ball 40+ times we have no chance.

We need to just go with our big packages on D. Have Phillips and Devin White in the middle. Bring John Battle down as an extra LB. Grant up top with whichever 2 CBs Aranda wants on the outside.

Let Devin White spy Hurts on passing downs. He can run with him. And you live with what happens when they pass down field.

On the other hand, offense still have to score atleast 10 points to win

yep. exactly what i said and laid out. you have to make hurts throw VERTICALLY. he can kill you HORIZONTALLY which is why we need safty help up on outside maybe double teaming WR's on possible down and distance estimates depending on bamas formations especially if 4 wide.

yep. especially when we only rush 4. when we blitz with 6 we need 5 in coverage to cover 5 possible receivers in man so there will be no spy then. we must get to him or disrupt his timing and accuracy. Ut did this for awhile.

nah. i would not even play cover 1 unless it is 3rd and a 20 or something. not sure we can afford it. cover 0 all day. safeties down in box OR on outside to defend horizontal passes. with 2 safeties down low we can double team TWO receivers often in passing plays or use them ob blitzes or just to defend runs. formation and down and distance will dictate what we do.
