Mine is regarding the defense. It seems we have been very sluggish reacting to outside plays of any type. Maybe I've been spoiled the last 2 years, but I keep expecting to see our backs and backers blow up lateral plays, not give up 5,8,11 yards. It's been the bain of my existence this year and it doesn't seem to have improved.

The emotional level of the Bama team knowing that this will possibly be the last meaningful game for Saban.

Referee shenanigans

Dallas Turner head hunting Beck

The investigation Bama will open against us if we win.

My biggest concern is Alabama using the same run concepts that Auburn and GT did with much, much better offensive players. Those two both hit 200+ rushing yards on this defense. If Alabama approaches 250+ rush yards, we probably won't win this game.

Keeping Milroe in pocket, and Bama pass rush. Success in both and Dawgs will have a good chance. These types of games are usually won by team that controls line of scrimmage and finds a way to win the running game.

Our DBs covering those deep Milroe lasers.
Our freshmen LBs setting the edge on running plays.
Our WRs and TEs being all being healthy.
Officials allowing late hits on Beck.

I was in the hospital last week and watched the game there. Glad to be home and here again.

My biggest concern is whether or not kiby goes with a red or black visor. I don't have a black one to match.

Yet.

The biggest weakness is CJ Allen. He's still young, and teams have had success scheming against him in the run game. They take advantage of his aggression with misdirection and cut-back lanes to get big, chunk plays.

Unless we see Pop, he's going to have to play more within himself and fill his role without the (admittedly few for a freshman) mental lapses that have cost the team.

Otherwise, it's nerves and protection. If they stay settled, stay focused, and correctly execute the game-plan these young Dawgs will win. I'm quite confident in that.

Our defense setting the edge and having a spy to keep Milroe in check.

Bama is going to score. I am holding out zero hope for our D to suddenly go gangbusters and shut them down. Our LBs just aren't experienced enough to have the sort of impact we're used to seeing from the position.

That said, if it's a shootout, we'll win. We don't need consistent stops from our D, just force one less punt than Bama does us.

Turnovers are what we worry me. A turnover, one way or the other, can turn this game on a dime into one team's favor.

Officiating is always my biggest worry. Win or lose I don't want to see an outcome determined by bad calls. Go Dawgs!

5) Alabama recovers a Mekhi Mews muffed punt. Mews already has either 4 or 5 this season.

4) Alabama goes up 7-0 just like every other team we've played in the last 2 months.

3) Milroe runs for 100 something yards

2) Dumas-Johnson doesn't play and we have some freshmen inside linebackers fricking up over and over.

1) Beck gets hurt.

Another slow start, it will be harder to comeback on Bama then anyone else we fell behind to.

The negative sentiment of our fanbase.

We have won 29 in a row. 6th SEC East Championship in a row.

We are the top dog.

Have some kahunas.

Does Beck get a curtain call in the 4th or does Kirby make him play until the mercy knees?

That we are playing a game that can do nothing but possibly bump us out and hurt our players when other teams get to sit at home..
