Got a chance to watch the USC and Pitt vs Notre Dame games recently online. From what I can tell their two major offensive players are 6 and 80. They tend to try and find a size mismatch with 80 and exploit it all game. If Sunseri or Blue get stuck on him there will be issues. They also like to spread the field close to the goal line and run qb sneaks. Defensively they don't blitz much prefering to play a safe defense and not give up big plays. Their lb don't generally crowd the box but are close and quick enough to make plays on the run game. Once it gets close to the goal line though they will pack it in and be hard to run it in on. They tend to run blitz in from the ends which opens up a tb or te for play action.
It also seemed that when affected their qb wasn't as accurate. Affected not just sacked. They get more rush oriented towards the end of the game and can wear the opposing teams down. Their special teams are ok, about like ours, not spectacular though I think Bama has a better punter.
All that being said it looks like Bama has a real good shot of beating them. Thoughts?
