I found this preview entertaining. I don't know if this Alabama guy really knows what he is talking about but at least he sounds like he is objective in stating the Alabama weaknesses.
Summary of Alabama weaknesses:
a) Offensive line is not as good as in the past
b) Stopping the run inside. MLB was bad last year and is better this year but not up to standards. This is how Georgia hurt them last year.
c) Making the secondary have to communicate since they will have breakdowns
d) Effective TEs can hurt Alabama
What not to do against Bama:
a) Dink and dunk. They love it because they are fast, physical and don't miss one on one tackles
b) They want you to go outside because that is where they shine due to their talent advantage and not as much need to communicate in the secondary
c) Long developing pass plays since their pass rush will get to you
d) Don't think A&M game plan will work because Alabama tried a new game plan on defense by dropping Will into coverage and that is why they failed and abandoned the approach for the rest of the year.
e) Execute what you do best and don't try new things since you will be sloppy executing new things.
