We can't have turnovers and need to get 2.

Malik Dear and Gabe Myles.


If these 2 get going, it will open everything up offensively and Bama will be guessing.

We will not see Dear nor Lee play on Saturday

Ex-lax in their Gatorade. Someone get on it....its our only hope.

Protect Dak. No turnovers for us and many turnovers by them. Same recipe as any MSU upset of a sec big boy.

I was gong to say, lace their Gatorade with sugar free gummy bears, much more violent than Ex-lax.

O-line, and in particular the pass block (so RB blocking too). Everyone talks about being balanced, but our strength is the pass. We must be able to pass the ball and give Dak time to make a read in order to have a chance.

I don't think our run game will be good enough to matter, and I think our D slows them down, but won't stop them.

I think it's Dak making plays with his legs. As mentioned above, he'll have to make some plays with his legs to keep Bama's defense honest. If he can do that, he should have plenty of time to shred their secondary.

We are going to see a lot of m on m coverage because UA knows and fears Dak's ability to tuck it and run. Weather Dak runs or not they are going to account for him which will force m on m coverage. Our chances ride on our reliever beating the coverage and making the catch. It also requires Dak to be on target. These three things coming together brings us the win.
