What hurts Bama D more early ?

If you can run on Bamas defense, especially do it consistently, you'll beat them more than likely.I would almost bet they go into every game knowing they're gonna shut the run down and let the other team try to win using anything else.Get a big run, then be able to somewhat keep it on the ground and the game is out of the defenses hands.

A big passing play and they're probably already mentally prepared to bounce back from it.

You know, there have been a lot of completed long balls Danny has thrown that have been gifts. No room for luck against Bama. Gotta be good.
