How much damage could Jeudy do to Tennessee ?

I'm not sure they have the personnel to do it, honestly. Bama's pass pro has been solid, and UT's D isn't a rock solid unit. They can bring heat, but it's likely to get picked up unless they leave everyone outside in man coverage with no safety help, which is almost a guaranteed six with Tua in the game...
During the Stallings era, that would have been three games of production.At one time saying a Bama qb could throw for 300 yards and 4 TDs in a half would have been a joke. Now it is very possible every game. Good times.
Tua will play. Jeudy will catch some passes.
Question is will Tennessee sell out to stop the long ball?
Will Jeudy get double coverage most of the game?
I expect Tennessee to come after Tua as often as they can.
What I expect to happen is some other Receiver will eat their lunch.
I expect Tennessee to try to stop the run up the middle too.
I expect we will beat Tennessee by 35-40 points, before Coach calls off the dogs.

Jacobs is to Alabama what Manu Ginobili in his prime was to the Spurs. (For those who have not seen Ginobili play, I honestly feel sorry for you) Josh looks pedestrian on the stat sheet at times, but watch him in a game and he is amazing. Josh does a lot of things that don't show up on the stat sheet and he has a great feel for the line to gain and the end zone. He is one of my favorite players Bama has.
No it is not about Tua. Tua is probably the best QB in college football, but he is one of MANY talented student athletes that plays for Alabama.
Jeudy's definitely turning out to be another truly great receiver and looks to be on the same trajectory as Julio, Amari, and Ridley.
I've also been impressed with Najee stepping up this year. He and Damien are pretty much neck and neck (with Najee having a slight edge).

I think Bama will try to be balanced offensively. Auburn had 126 yards rushing against Tennessee and they don't have near the talent Alabama does at RB. Teams are averaging 4.5 ypc and 153 yards per game against the Vols. This is the "new" Bama, and though we aren't going to see a conservative run based clock management type game, I think given Tua's injury and Tennessee's porous run defense, we will see more runs than normal. I have no problem with that......... Of course, this is only a guess, but I really want to see Josh Jacobs break a big one. He is overdue. I would even like to see Robinson get a carry or two with the first O-line in, or Damien break a big one.
Boy are we spoiled. :biggrin2: Not like the rivalry of old! Like a Christmas wish list of long runs and WR highlights. Times have changed!
I also expect Tenn to lose badly, but have a more limited list: Bama to win; no further injuries; and Tua to be healthy.
I mean his stats - their stats. Those stats aren't close at Alabama without Tua.
My list also is to win, have no injuries, and protect Tua. Last time I checked there is an 80 percent chance of rain. I sure hope that changes. Wild things can happen in those type games (plays and injuries).
Going back to 2007, Alabama's leading WR in the Tennessee game averages 7.8 catches, 129.7 yards, and .7 TDs for the game. The only time the leading WR didn't go over 80 yards was Julio in 2009.
Six of the 11 games have seen two WRs with more than 50 yards, and two other games had three WRs eclipse 50 yards.
If Saban allows them to continue the pass game (no reason to believe he won't), Jeudy and HR3/Waddle should have a great day.

Shavers probably had a TD last week if the turf monster had not tackled him. Still has some learning/growing up to do but he has massive potential.
Sorry I'm just responding BamaMan09, CNS talked about possible changes at LG this week. Check out the link to the thread below:
