Gibson is a big back and he's totally fresh. He can handle 40 carries and Bama will be shocked and then tired as **** by the 3rd quarter. Running the HUNH doesn't allow them to sub and they are down 4 defensive starters this game. If we put in two TE's along with Couch & Todd as the WRs and we don't allow them to sub they are going to get tired. It can work. I have faith in Gibson. He is going to break out a huge game whenever he finally is given the rock enough times. No reason it can't be Saturday. When Bama starts crashing the middle Fitz pulls the ball and runs to the outside. With his speed he'll break a long run or five because the defense isn't set up yet and they are tired. This is how the HUNH scores a bunch of cheap/easy points. When they cover both the inside for Gibson and the outside for Fitz you throw it over the top to the two big WRs. We can beat Bama running about 5 different plays total. It's all about the mindset and fully committing to it.
The reason teams havent committed to 2 TE sets and beating their head against the wall is because your kids get tired too and they are going to get beat up. If you had 5 terminators on the OL and superman at RB this would work. Agree with you we shouldnt be intimidated and be who we are though. We arent going to compete throwing it 30-40 times either
