I just watched every Bama offensive snap from the Georgia and South Carolina games. I know Tim Banks knows this, but defending Bama might not be as difficult as everyone seems to make it.

Force Milroe to the left. He doesn't like to run left (always keeps ball in right hand which could lead to fumbles). He isn't as accurate passing left. Most all passes left are short dump offs to TE or quick passes to flat. He does not throw deep to the left. If you force him left, we have a great chance to stymie offense.

Did I mention making him run left? He always runs the opposite direct of WR motion. He almost always looks to bounce it outside to his right while protecting the ball with his right hand.

He hardly throws any balls beyond 10 yards. 85% of his passes are 5 yards or less. His receivers get a LOT of YAC.

When he does throw the ball deep, it's to the right. When he throws beyond 10 yards and it isn't a bomb to the right, it's a crosser going left to right in the middle of the field.

Force him left with everything. We can win this game.

I watched the Bama and Vandy. Tape. More of the same minus two plays.

1st drive - Pass rt deflected LOS. Pick 6.
2nd drive - TE split to right, wide open for 15 yards and then 32 YAC. Again, TE in same spot wide open for 17 yards. JM designed run left 2 yards. RB touchdown run.
3rd drive - Deep left bomb wide open and overthrown. Sacked. 15-yard out (right) to Williams dropped. Punt.
Drive 4= Dump 3 yard and 5 YAC. Designed run left loss of 2. Crosser for 15 yards + targeting. 3 yd dump to RB. Next two plays were RB runs that resulted in TD.
Drive 5 - 8 yard out to left. 8 yard dump to TE over middle. 10 yard crosser running left to right to #2. 11 yard out route to right side. JM designed run 13 yards for TD.
Drive 6 - Pass to left overthrown. Should have been 20 yard gain. Passed LOS on throw and loss of down Punt.
Drive 7 - Deep ball to left (first time connecting in 3 SEC games) to R Williams who makes a jumping catch and no one tackles on sideline so 20 YAC and TD.
Drive 8 - Out to the right for 15 yards. Crosser to TE for 15 yards. Sack Fumble recovered by Vandy.
Drive 9 - 5 yard out to TE on the right side. Busted coverage and bomb to the right side for 50 yards. JM designed run up middle for 10. Flat to TE for 2 yards. Scramble right for 1 yard. Incomplete to left. Shovel pass for 8 yards. End around to #2 to TD

Vandy won by running out clock. More of the same here. He prefers the right side of the field and crossing routes from L to R. He occasionally looks left with out routes or passes to the flat. He always uses safety valves in RB and TE who squat 3-7 yards beyond LOS. If we force this man to his left and tackle well, we will win.
