1. Red zone offense - they need to figure out some plays to dial up in the red zone to get TDs on the board, not just for Bama but for the remainder of the season

My only other real gripe is the use of personnel. I really don't think they are utilizing personnel groupings to their maximum potential.
Of course they see the players everyday in practice, but I can't figure out why the obvious play makers are not getting more touches on spread formations. I'd love to see more attempts at getting the ball to Jamarr Chase (think he had a drop against State, but otherwise has been really good when given the opportunity) and CEH in space on quick passes and screens. I feel like they haven't gone back to the quick screen game as much since that flag against Auburn.
Gotta get Bama's LBs covering quick passes sideline to sideline to put pressure on them and the DBs to respect the horizontal game, then hit them vertically or up the middle.

Out of our current group of receivers, who would be our best option in the red zone? Someone we could trust in the middle of the field, to get up and get the ball?

Practice is one of the worst places to see "playmakers" actually. You do get a look at their physical attributes, no doubt. But because of walk throughs and mainly working on execution it most often "goes by the script".
Looking at the script, or execution, even at full speed, playmakers really don't make plays. Yeah there's hints of it. But making a play, is going above and beyond. It just doesn't happen all too often at practice.
When it happens in a game everybody is focused on that play. All the attention is on it. At practice Sale, Sullivan, and the WR QC guy might see the WR make awesome moves, but that's it. At practice not all the focus is on the ball when that playmaker makes a play... it doesn't get the exposure.
Eventually the playmakers show themselves, but because of those two reasons above it takes time, unless they get the opportunity AND make a play in a game.
