So how much does Bama score on our defense?

[Commercecomet24]

They're pretty good. They're giving up less per game. They have just as much talent.

Yeah they are. We kinda splitting hairs both are elite.

[WSOPdawg]

According to how many 1st downs we get on offense. If we don't shorten the game, they may score 40.

This is the correct answer. Last year's game plan where Mullen milked each play down (inside of 10 seconds before the snap) really shortened the game and kept Bama from running away from us b/c. Of course, Coach Jo already takes many of our plays down inside of 5 seconds so again it'll come down to avoiding 3-and-outs.

But I also don't expect to see Tua missing the deep throws that have been over-shot in the last 3 games. We got lucky tonight with Mond overthrowing the WR that burned our safeties. Same occurred against Auburn.

17 Bama. I'm gonna enjoy the hell out of this game. I'll worry about them in a couple weeks.

We gave up 1 TD @ LSU. 1. We've given up 9 total TDs up to this point in the season. 4 of which came vs KY. I believe our D is a different animal now and still evolving and it appears our O is too. It is difficult to put a number on points Bama scores. They'lI win most likely, but I say that they kick more FGs than they score TDs. That will really speak on the power of our D in holding them to FGs. But, just my 2 cents.

No way, not even close

I can’t believe someone said mullen milked the clock, ever. He never has. Probably my favorite part of Moorhead’s offense is running clock. Mullen never did that, not in one single game.

Most of these "Keys to the Game" are either obvious and/or have already been mentioned... But this is my take:

1) Don't let Bammer jump out with a big lead early like they have been... Keep it within a couple of scores so yall can stay within yalls offense... Avoid a "shoot out"/passing game and make it an "ugly" game... Keep Bammer in a phone booth, punch em, and win TOP
to wear out Bammer's D...
2) Stay ahead of the chains so yall can convert 3rd downs at >=60%... while holding Bammer to <50%...
3) Go > +1 in turnovers...
4) Shorten the game... That was something I thought Mullen did well for yall a couple times vs Bammer...
5) Explosive plays... get a bunch and limit Bammer's...

And congrats on the win... well done!

Thanks for the help dude. Moorhead been reading ED some I think ... maybe he'll be smart and listen to ya.

Yep that plan should work. Thanks, lol!

Yeah, I prolly shoulda read that one a couple of times before my half drunk ass clicked the "Post Quick Reply" button....

Not even close? Going by stats, they're better than us at scoring def, pass def, rush def, total def, sacks, TFL, and 3rd down conversion %

[tcdog70]

Shit. Have some faith. Our defense is elite. They way Bama scores a bunch will be if our special team isn't special or our offense gives them a short field. Our punters might be the worst in D1. Can the kid that kicks off not punt? He has a cannon for a leg.

[Pit Bull]

I'm gonna say 31

30-40 pts.

A&M hung 26 on Clemson?

Add #6 tackle waddle everytime he leaves the LOS. this might slow him down an 7# treat Tua like Peyton Manning. Hit him and get his uniform dirty every play.

Kentucky hung 28 on us. Mizzou held Kentucky to 15. Mizzou defense > our defense? Is this how it works?

[RocketDawg]

We've given up 9 TDs in 8 games. Fewest in the nation. Incredible.

And at least one of those ... the 2 yard "drive" by LSU last weekend ... wasn't really on the defense. It was a gift by our offense.

[PMDawg]

Sorry, but they will name their score. Our offense will still be under 100 yards at halftime. Our defense will get screwed by our inept offense.

[WSOPdawg]

Timber, we had the ball for 38:56 last year while Bama only had 21 minutes and 4 seconds in last year's 31-24 loss.

Again, Mullen's game plan last year milked the 17'n clock down to the point that we had the ball for almost 39 of the 60 minutes, which kept Bama from scoring b/c they were on the sideline. Great game plan only to lose the game in the last few minutes of the 4th Qtr.

That's milking the clock!

No our team will get screwed by the referees as usual!
