They will sneak 1 safety up close to the line, esp on 1st down, and 3rd and short.

If we consistently have 2 WRs, one of them will likely be in single coverage on play action.

Prolly OBJ. The question is, can we get the ball to him?

I think they will force us to throw. If we can they will change their gameplan. If Reuben has a big day we will win, because he will open up the run game when they can't load the box anymore


I don't think they have to force us. I think that's Miles's game plan. Throwing on 1st / neutral downs to get some running room. I look for us to come out aggressive on offense (even take the ball if we win the toss) w/ hopes of an early lead and forcing McC. / saban to throw from behind. We'll sell-out to stop TR and the run. This game is squarly on the shoulders of AJ. Maybe he can, maybe he can't, but it won't be TR gashing us for the win.

Dre is a good corner guys, I look for may OBJ to have a big day.

I 100% think that Saban is going to start the game trusting his great front 7 to try and take care of the run game (especially on 1st and 2nd), and letting his 4 dbs try and cover the WRs.

If he is dumb enough to double cover RR all night Beckham JR. will clean their plow.

i think that 2's presence will allow 33 and 10 to have big nights, personally.

but 2 will get his as well

A very healthy dose of DeAngelo Peterson will open up single coverage on RR.

This. Saban has run that Tampa 2 all year long. LSU will have to force him to bring in a safety.
