Saban wouldn't even bother trying to run this defense, so that point is moot.


You really think that if Saban had his normal monsters on the DL he wouldn't try to run the only defense that has semi-worked on LSU?

Davis is the best pass rusher in the league and is healthy. He's going to cause some problems even if Bama just brings 4.



They have 19 sacks on the season as a team, Why will Davis be able to do to LSU what their whole defense hasn't done to anyone all season? Because he caused havoc against Tennessee and Arky? Those teams aren't exactly our peers.

quote:

Defenses have absolutely adjusted to the offense, particularly in the red zone. Auburn took a bend, don't break approach and it worked.


Auburn stopped us on a few short yardage plays because their DL is unreal. We also went super vanilla against Moo State and dropped a TD in the endzone that game.

Again, the things that AU did to stop us aren't easily replicated because they depend on having a dominant DL.

He'd do the same things he always does. Run 3-4 and 3-3-5 and let his athletes make plays in space.

He wouldn't run out a defense with 7 DBs on the regular.

Davis is the SEC sack leader, and is a better pass rusher than anyone on Auburn's defensive line.

Auburn slowed LSU down by keeping everything in front of them until the field shrunk the in red zone. Alabama will likely try something similar, they just won't have to use 7 DBs to do it. Alabama's linebackers may be young, but they're incredibly athletic just like they usually are.

Acting like Bama's defense is all of a sudden full of a bunch of 2nd rate players is dumb.
