Yup, I agree.
We will most likely be in nickel or dime most of the game.

This ... watch the line. Going in, most thought Bama 10ish. Home field in the SEC west is +4. Puts Bama a two touchdown winner on neutral site. Regardless of where the line is now, if it stays the same or deceases watch out. If it moves at least 2 pts in Bama's favor Blake is fine and Bama wins by at least 10 in VH.Me thinks this may have a lot to do with the low betting line coming out of the desert as well ... hoping this is not the case tho.
Does anyone see or defense playing with one less LB and adding a Perry or Williams to lessen the mismatch between our everyday LBs and UofM TE Engram? More of a 4-2-5 set.
Since they are not so much a power running team so they aren't likely pound us with one less large body in our defense.
I doubt it. if we do that, Ole Miss will smell that coming miles away.

That's what Bama579 was saying..Yup, I agree.
Then why say we wouldn't when Bama579 suggested it?Yup, I agree.
This is an overlooked matchup (by most people) and it will probably end up mattering a lot. Ole Miss has allowed 7 sacks this year, and they are ranked 73rd in the country in rushing offense. These numbers have been generated facing the 42nd, 43rd, 82nd, and 105th ranked defenses in the country, so it's not at all like they have faced great defenses. Boise St has the best rushing defense of the 4 teams they've played at 19th, but Memphis is 50th, Vandy at 69th, and ULL at 97th. They will be facing the #5 defense in the country with the #3 rushing defense in the country.I wonder how our DL matches up with their OL. Plus they have that 300 lbs running back too.
Good breakdown. I wonder why the numbers aren't being looked at more closely. I know they don't mean everything but I don't see how they keep it close. I'm sure that Blake will be ready to go.After taking a little closer look at OM's #1 ranked passing defense, they have played 3 of the absolute worst passing offenses in the country. Boise St is respectable at 31st, but Memphis is ranked 85th, ULL is 93rd, and Vandy is 115th.
Our passing defense is ranked 20th, but we faced West Virginia at #3, UF at #49, USM at #67, and FAU at #105.
Incidentally, OM's defense allowed more yards (399) to Boise's 38th ranked offense than we did to WVU's #11 (393 yards) ranked offense. WVU's offense is averaging 551 YPC, and we limited them to less than 400 yards.
I believe their defense is good, but I'm not sure if they are juggernaut people are making them out to be.
I just can't wait to LOL when we put 500+ yds of offense on them and everyone wants to suddenly backtrack on how good their defense was.
He [bama579] doesn't know enough terminology to know it is called nickel formationThen why say we wouldn't when Bama579 suggested it?

Such is the history of Alabama football. Most all our ranked opponents are expected to upset us. That is, until we play them. Then, after the MDB plays and the fans loudly sing "Rammer Jammer", the tone of those who sung the praises of our opponent suddenly changes. From that point forward, those same folks are saying that "Of course Alabama beat them. They're not that good a team."I just can't wait to LOL when we put 500+ yds of offense on them and everyone wants to suddenly backtrack on how good their defense was.
Are you equally as concerned that the coaches haven't been working with Jake Coker?I`m just a natural born worrier and I guess all we can do is take CNS at his word, but I`m concerned that Blake may not be 100% by Saturday. Just a feeling.
It will always be how good their defense was or wasn't. It will never be that Bama was just better than another good team for some people. Some of these talking heads will be screaming that the SEC West wasn't really any good if Bama can somehow get through this meat grinder undefeated. I too have just about quit watching ESPN college football shows except for College Football Final. I don't know why but I like those guys. SEC Network is pretty balanced due to the fact that they are clearly SEC biased all the way around.I just can't wait to LOL when we put 500+ yds of offense on them and everyone wants to suddenly backtrack on how good their defense was.
You know, the way Blake is playing I forgot about the Jake factor. He's more than just a good back up. That's no longer a concern now for me. Thanks for the reminder.Are you equally as concerned that the coaches haven't been working with Jake Coker?
Personally, I'm hoping Blake is up to playing. However I also know for a fact that CNS isn't going to jeopardize the game by putting the entire game plan on the hopes that he is. If Blake is up to playing, great. If he's not, I'm sure Jake will be ready to take the reigns.
No, of course not. I`m fully confident that the coaching staff would be working with whomever the backup QB might be. If you`re intimating that a diminished status of the starting QB should be of no or little concern, well.....Are you equally as concerned that the coaches haven't been working with Jake Coker?

It bothered me just a bit when CNS compared Blake's situation to AJ's. AJ's was much worse than generally known. I kept hearing that and then he just quit throwing downfield at all...I`m just a natural born worrier and I guess all we can do is take CNS at his word, but I`m concerned that Blake may not be 100% by Saturday.

Yeah, didn't give me the warm and fuzzies either. Memo to Blake Sims: Slide next time.It bothered me just a bit when CNS compared Blake's situation to AJ's. AJ's was much worse than generally known. I kept hearing that and then he just quit throwing downfield at all...
