I'm not saying this just because he went wild against aTm, but I hope we use Kamara more than normal this week. I believe that matchup is better than the power run game of Hurd against Bamas big defense.
The first Third Saturday in October in a long time that I feel like we actually have a shot at winning.
This has great potential to be a rough game for us. I think we can score on them some, but we're really beat up on defense. This would have been a good week to have off in hopes to get some guys healthy. At full strength I think we could beat them. We have to limit mistakes, (turnovers and penalties) to stay in this game. Defensive line needs to continue to play well, but from there back everyone has to step it up this week.
We have a legitimate shot. Not going as far to say we will win, but this is the best chance we have had had in awhile at pulling this one out.
I haven't seen any highlights but apparently Bama mauled Arkansas to death. Per the radio guys this morning anyway.
Bama will attack the LBs in space and the CBs over the top. Those 2 groups will have to have their best performance. We are good enough at DL, Not sure about behind them. UT has to be even (at worse) in turnovers. The offense will not pull off 600+ this weekend but they won't have to if we don't give them easy scores. Who is able to play is another question.
Reuben Foster, a starting LB for Alabama, left the Arkansas game with a concussion. He's a frickin Mack Truck when he hits people and is actually really fun to watch. If he doesn't play, that's a big hitter and a really good LB they're missing. Alphonso Taylor, the starting RG, also left with a concussion.
If UT can get somewhat healthy they have a decent shot of winning. It's hard for freshman QB to win on the road and typically UA has trouble stopping dual threat QBs. UT still loses but this is the best shot they've had under Butch
Last year was the best shot. It took a last minute drive to pull it out. Saturday it will not come down to the last drive. If Tennessee was full strength on defense,this game would be a classic.
