Saturday Night = Zone and more Zone Defense

Probably.

Milroe struggles at times to read defenses and hit receivers when he’s contained to the pocket.

More worried about stopping the run than Milroe beating us.

That’s not Milroe’s game at all.

We want them to try this.

So much modern zone is essentially man/zone hybrid anyway. It’s pretty rare that teams, even ones who play a lot of zone, utilize a ton of spot dropping.

Stay two deep all night long and take away the deep ball. Play the run, keep Milroe in the pocket, and make them beat us underneath.

Match quarters from a two deep shell. Should give us the hats needed in the run game while also protecting the deep part of the field. That's what I'd run a healthy dose of saturday.

Easy throws, run game, with an occasional deep shot. That’s what we’ll see from Bama

Yep. They will get it out of Milroe's hands early and make us tackle. Then they will pick and choose when they take the deep shot.

Milroe can't sit there and throw 10-15 yard darts against even our secondary. He's not good at that at all. If that's happening often it means Bama can do literally anything they want, and we will need 50 to maybe win.
