I know ya'll don't give 2 shits and can of shit about this game. But this is the game where Alabama can get it's mojo back. (Same can be said where they can ruin their season.) Few things from the Bama side: Pressuring Nico is going to be massive, Nico has struggled when the pocket has started to shrink, He doesn't keep his feet moving in sync with his eyes. He gets off platform and it causes either miss throws or he just doesn't throw it at all and takes a sack he shouldn't. (Bama blitzes on only 9 percent of plays but is among the top in the country in pressures.) Driving the ball is going to be important, and it doesn't mean they have to score on every drive. Bama this year on offense have done 1 of 2 things. Score or they get to punt very quickly giving the defense very little time to rest. The value of just 1 or 2 first down even without points can't be talked about enough with Alabama. Making YOUR PLAY seems pretty simple, But this year the defense just has been so inconsistent in this area of defense. Kane does deserve some blame yes, But the players are not doing him any favors. Costly penalties at bad times or just simply not making the tackle when it's their to be made, or even worse get dragged for a extra 3-5 yards because you're either attacking to high or you're trying to force a turnover when you need to be worried about just making the tackle. For Tennessee: Their tackles have been a mess this year specifically the LT. He is going to be going against LT Overton whose among the top 5 in pressures. Lance is going to have to have the game of the year for himself in order to give Nico time. Tennessee defense is slated as one of the best in the country but they have yet to face any offense that resembles a pulse. Is the defense real or were they just that good because of the talent they played against. And lastly can Josh get out of his own head, It seems from the Arkansas game to now he has been real inconsistent with his playcalling. He has also not really helped his LT out with chips or just an extra blocker by sliding protection to help him out. Stat that is interesting. Kalen is 13-2 against top 25 teams in his career dating back to his time at Fresno State. Seems like in games like this he wakes up.
