If you're Bama, how do you game plan against our offense?

[ThisTeetsTaken]

If I'm Bobby Allen I'm telling Austin to "throw it to grandma" at the first hint of pressure after every snap.  No reason to risk getting hurt when there is nothing to play for.

[Rayzback]

Does everyone here honestly believe it will be a behind the barn as& whipping?  I can see us hanging with them for awhile.

Just a city boy. Born and raised in NWA. He took the Cole train goin anywhere.

I would love for nothing more than a miracle.

[12247]

It will be a miracle if we don't get several players hurt in this game.  I think Saban is a good enough coach to go easy on us without even his team knowing what he is doing.  Just  keep putting in players maybe in the wrong position and mixing up their own talent to it best disadvantage to the point we are able to stay alive yet he wins going away. 

[12247]

I say its possible our team will be OK during warmups.  I would hate to see what Saban might do to us if we actually got a good start.  Something like we kick off to them and they fumble at the 15 and we pick it up and score.  Then they stumble a couple of times on the next series and have to kick to us and we throw a hail mary intended to be thrown out of bounds and Austin pulls a Mallett and doesn't get it there and one of our players catches it for a TD.  Saban would use up all his timeouts having his players lined up in a belt line.  They would kill us for the remaining 4.75 quarters.  They would call their final timeout in the fourth with 3 seconds remaining and score on us again even with the score 58-14 at that point.

Rush 3, sack 1

NFL scouts are going to be watching to see how AA handles this adversity. He handles himself well, even in a bad season, he has an opportunity if his combine and pro day performances are impressive.

If he mails it in the rest of the year, he's got no hope.

So, no, I don't think his dad is telling him to be a chicken darn. He's probably telling him to be a leader.

[Fan1958]

Rest your starters and start your reserves.

Party all night and set the alarm clock

[Bubba's Bruisers]

Put 11 players on the field

10 would do it.  Maybe 9.

[Iwastherein1969]

Put 11 players on the field

or 10, maybe even 9....doesn't really matter because they are above us in talent as the Golden State Warriors are above the Phoenix Suns.

Bobby should sit Austin down and say, let's see what Cole can do. Let's look at some reality jobs for you!

First trick is keeping the serious craggy demeanor when he wants to giggle.

[East Clintwood]

If it wasn't for the fancy game jerseys and all of the people in the stands, it'll be just like they're practicing against the 3rd & 4th teamers.

[Rzbakfromwaybak]

Passing downs...Rush 7, knock the O-linemen down, smash the QB.  On running plays...defense shows 7-8 defenders in box, Arkansas will run anyway. Meet RB at LOS, knock backwards.  Arkansas punter has busy afternoon.

[Razor1997]

Bama doesn't have to game plan against our offense with their athletes.

But Saban is their coach, so he will have them prepared, even though they won't need to be.

[The real Hogules]

I skip over the Arkansas game footage, for fear of making my team over confident and move on to footage of our next opponent.

That's a solid technique.

Approved.

[Boss Hog in the Arkansas]

Just show up 

[riccoar]

You load 8 men in the box and press the receivers. 

[TheJoeyBucketz]

Rapidly, with a little smile on your face, and very few second thoughts

[HardCore]

Blitz every down. 

[10thPlanet]

Send them, I am blitzing even my corners. Everyone will most likely get to Allen. 

[311Hog]

why blitz? i would bet they get home with 4, base defense on most downs.

I am over thinking it, making it too hard.

Inflatable tackle buddy?

Alabama could stay up all night on a massive MDMA binge and still smoke our team the next day.

Maybe I should have the massive MDMA binge while watching the game...that might help a lot now that I think of it.  Psychiatrists are starting trials to test the effectiveness of MDMA to treat post traumatic stress syndrome.  I'm sure if I showed the doctor film of the Sternover, Fish fumble, Auburn 2016, and Alabama 2017, I'd qualify!

Dont forget the Nixon game where Texas held the whole game and never got it called,

[Sapperhog]

Walk on the field with two legs and a pulse.

[kodiakisland]

I don't know much about football but going a against a line that can't block,  I'd bring 5 or 6 after Allen from down one, with combinations of linebackers and DBs.

They don't have to "bring" anybody to best our line.  A 3 man rush is 2 more than we can handle.  My guess is they aren't worrying much about a game plan.  Base defense as vanilla as it gets will be all it takes.

Do you really think that? IF there is an NFL scout watching AA, he is most likely from Cleveland.

[SultanofSwine]

If I was Sabah I would start the second string front seven and give the secondary guys the night off. Between stuffing the run at or behind the line of scrimmage and getting sacks on every pass attempt they won't need the defensive backs. Maybe use them on punt returns so they will get some cardio work in.
