Assuming Alexander is a no go here's what I'm seeing in terms of the CB room:

- Chestnut basically off the team without officially being off it
- Johnson out for season due to injury
- We're assuming Alexander isn't a go here
- Stamps was not dressed out for Army game
- Welch hasn't played the last 3 weeks now
- Harris the most unreliable player on team has missed 2 of last 3 games now and who knows what his status is

Is our CB room for Bama potentially only Ryan, Toviano, Hughes and a walk on Robinson? Keep in mind Ryan and Toviano arent even supposed to even play corner at all.

We have GOT to hope Alexander is available and/or between stamps/welch/harris 2/3 of those guys can go.

It's going to be sage as cb1

Hopefully Harris is available for this game

Chestnut isn't magically going to be back for the Bama game.

Sage
Maybe Welch
Maybe stamps
Hughes
Robinson
Toviano(nickel corner)

Sad situation

What’s the story with him. Is he having the same troubles as Chestnut and Harris?

Why did he not get a snap last night?

Having 7 or 8 guys available without knowing what you'll get is a concern to open the season.

Having only maybe 4 guys available 1 being a walk on and neither of your opening day starters is a HUGE concern heading into toughest game left this season

Sage Ryan covering Jermaine Burton is a colossal mismatch.

Burton will be 5+ yards open on every play.

I honestly don't know. I really liked him out of high school.

Maybe he is acting out since he isn't playing as much as he thought he would.

Other threads have been clear Alexander had an MRI this morning revealing bad news for his knee. Not sure if the specific injury is confirmed accurate but regardless probably safe to assume Alexander is out.

Line em up and make Milroe throw it.

They don’t have elite receivers.

Even if all those guys you mentioned were available we’d still be in trouble bc they’re all terrible(except harris).

Getting constant pressure on Milroe will be the key. If we don’t do that it’s gonna be a long day.

Bet we play mostly zone…giving Bama receivers 10 yd cushions enabling them to drive down the field freely
And Milroe will look like a heisman candidate

I may KMS after watching that dude DJ Welter his way around the field for 4 hours. Talk about a nightmare scenario for such a winnable game

This is what some seem to very inadequately take into consideration. The DB weakness is BY FAR the reason we are not in the Top-10. The offense is HEROICALLY GREAT, so we'll need every last bit of offensive magic and front seven excellence possible to beat Bama. My gut says we win in spite of this very bad position group.
