Our defensive numbers are not as impressive because our 4th and 5th string are not as good as Bama's. We've built big leads in most games, especially Troy & even AUB up 3 TD's and bring in our backups in the 4th, to only let teams rack up yards & get back in the game (somewhat). Of course the only game we played our starters 4 quarters was against UT. They couldn't pass for 150 & that's with them trailing all game. I bet UT throws for 250 Sat on Bama.



The Troy game was 23 to 14 going into the 4th, which is not a big lead. UT was never trailing by 20 points in that game so there was no need to start throwing at will until the final mins.

UT very well could throw 250 yards on us, because they damn sure will not run for over 200 on us like they did Miss St.

Right, we started subbing in the 3rd quarter with our backups when it was 23-7. It almost bit us in the arse. UT was getting some good numbers running the ball yes, but we took away their strength and knew they were not going to be able to beat us with the run. We tend to play a bend but don't break style.
