Make a playbook for Dan!!

I didn't know we were suiting up.***

We aren’t, but fan’s attitudes have a way of finding their way onto the field. Don’t say it doesn’t happen, because it does. We play UMass this week.

Don't you know.. internet fodder by a fan base really can change a teams focus? Not..

A team being able to focus in spite of the Bama game looming is the coaches and players job, not mine.

Besides even the coaches are looking forward, always. They put stuff on game tape every week that are designed to manipulate opponents down the road. If we beat Bama, some of those plays will most likely have to be used. Most people understand that State isn't lining up and running down Alabama's throat like we hope to do this next weekend.

If we can't beat UMass with our normal offense, then we aren't "Who we thought we were."

Hev could be head coach this Saturday and run Gibson every down and we'd still beat them by 21.

The speed option is one of my favorite plays. Wish we ran it ten times a game. Oregon used to be nasty with this play with LaMichael James, Marcus Mariotta and DeAnthony Thomas.

That should be the case, but then we should have done the same to USA last year too.

But now we have Grantham and a starting QB with the locker room behind him 100%.

Split Keytaon out wide as a WR, and have a series of plays for him and Fitz on the field together but not necessarily both in the backfield.

I can see Key or Fitz being on the receiving end of each other's passes. Am I mistaken in thinking they are our fastest two offensive weapons?

I like this but I'd go one step further and make it an RPO flea licker with Fitz/Key right next to the sideline but behind the LOS able to throw it after the other throws it to them. Bama would be forced to keep a defender over there so you'd basically make it 10 v 10 if you didn't throw it to Fitz/Key.

What is the weak link on y'all's defense?

Doesn't look like there is one if you look at scores, but incredibly, y'all have played FSU, UT, A&M, Arkansas, and UM and not come up against a good offense yet. Is there a side of the defensive backfield you're worried about good receivers attacking (obviously not a big concern against us) or would you be more scared of an elite run game grinding away? I'm assuming the former just based on typical Saban teams but A&M and UM both have one or more elite WRs that didn't seem to do much damage, although A&M has QB issues and UM has a playstation OC that got shut down by Cal.

I?ve got it. This is brilliant. I know how to beat Bama. We need a supply of girls getting ready to buy $750 dresses. Saban will spend the entire game talking them out of it and not pay attention to the game.

Work the perimeter quick game, bubbles, key screens, get 3-5 and be happy with it. Stay patient set up your shots off that, run the ball to keep them honest.
