I stand somewhat corrected. Ole Miss ran for 88 yards total. Here is a link LINK Bama is allowing 66 yards rushing per game and ranked #1 in the country in rush defense.

why did Miles stop recruiting these?
We don't just need deep dl and ol; we need big, strong guys. Our OL has been too weak.

The way you beat Bama is the way no one wants to hear. You have to do what we did in 2010. Run the ball effectively, stay in 3rd and short, make the plays in the passing game on 50/50 balls.

Colorado State went for over 100yds too
This is also correct. They actually ran for 144. The 75 yards rushing (was actually 71) was in SEC play before Ole Miss ran for 88 total.
Vandy 40
TAMU 71
Arkansas 27
Tenn 64
Ole Miss 88

1) Load the box to stop the run and trust DB's to go one-on-one with Bama receivers. 2) Etling hit short drop, short passes. Don't think line can protect him long enough for regular drop-backs and Bama will shut down Guice like they did Fournette the last couple of years.
That is a good strategy. I think that our Defense will hold the tide to 20 points. We need to not get into third and long situations. The quandary is do you risk giving up a down for a chance at the long ball and how often do you do that? Another thought. Spread offenses with very athletic quarterbacks have been effective against bama in the past. I just don't think that we have the personnel to do this. It will be interesting to see what Canada comes up with.

Would be neat if LSU goes to the spread for this game. Maybe use Brennan to run the ball some.

A couple of posts have mentioned Ole Miss and Colorado St. Bama wasn't up for those games... They may have been up some for Ole Miss but def not Colorado State. But LSU... a totally different story... they get 2 weeks prep for us.

Canada is really good at not running the offense into a defenses strength. I would assume that the game plan is going to be passing more than we have against other teams. Quick slants, screens, occasional deep balls to Chark etc...Bama is very disciplined. I don't know how much the misdirection/jet sweep type plays will work, but am curious to see if they do.

If the line shows it can hold up for 3.5 seconds I say early and often. If Chark can beat a DB with his speed, or Davis/Sullivan with their size and athleticism on jump balls it will keep their safeties back. They might even go into a nickel set.
The fewer safeties and linebackers around the LOS the better our chances of running successfully.
We have to move the chains, avoid 3 and outs and keep our defense fresh to have a chance.
Do all that and when we get in the red zone make sure to come out with 7 instead of 3 and we've got a real shot to win.

FALSE. Shea Patterson had -16 yards rushing, not 35. No other quarterback took a snap for Ole Miss that day. It's literally in the link I provided. And that's how college football rushing yards are calculated. You still haven't responded to this LINK care to comment?

Rushing Yards allowed by Alabama in their 4 losses the last three years:
2016 vs Clemson: allowed 91yds rushing on 42 carries (also gave up over 400yds passing)
2015 vs Ole Miss: allowed 92yds rushing on 32 carries (also gave up over 340yds passing)
2014 vs Ohio State: allowed 281yds rushing on 42 carries (gave up over 500yds total offense)
2014 vs Ole Miss: allowed 76yds rushing on 32 carries (gave up over 320yds total offense)
It comes down to turnovers and time of possession. In 3 of those 4 losses, they didn't allow 100yds rushing. We aren't going to rush for over 100yds on their defense with our OL and our QB. We need to win time of possession and win the turn-over battle.

the things tenn did successfully against them are the kinds of things that canada has done well this season. when tenn got in trouble was deep drop, downfield passing attempts. bama destroyed that. i like what canada has been doing all season, misdirection, against bama's d. it remains to be seen if the players can execute. i have no doubt canada is going to have some new looks too.
on offense, bama isn't spectacular. they hit plays when they need it. they don't use a lot of misdirection and shifts. if the d can wrap up and shore up the middle, they will probably do ok.
of course, this is all easier said than done and bama usually plays inspired football against the tigers

I agree 100%
Short passes to tight ends, receivers in front of the linebackers and jet sweeps. Keep the linebackers off to he one of scrimmage. Screens as well
The easy day was......Yesterday

Keep them off balanced
Expose their DB'S
Make Jalen win with his arm
Manage clock

What really excites me about this game is that we've shown so much different shite on offense Bama has no idea how we plan to attack them.
We may see a totally different offense against them.
What do they prepare for? Two weeks to think about it maybe one week too many.

We recruited a lot of both
Some weren’t very good or left the team
And we missed in a lot of DLinemen because Brick sucked.
Miles brought in O to sorta turn that around.

offensively, we have to strike with what they show us. If they load the box, Etling has to be able exploit the man coverage, specifically with completing back shoulder throws to Chark. Be successful in the PA with completing throws to Moreau. We have to get them to respect the pass and even the jet sweep. If they do, I know Guice will get to eating along with throwing out of the backfield to Williams.
The trick to beating bama is to beat their depth by controlling the time of possession.
Lastly, with all of the offensive movement this season, we have got to control the penalties. We've gotten better, but Nov 4th has to be perfect.
