Tuesdays keys to the game

[TNACTFAN]

These keys to the game are from a complete amateur, me.
For Alabama
1. Score several early TD’s and stop Tennessee- take the crowd out- the stadium will be amazingly loud to start.
2. With no BY, establish a run game with short passes to keep D honest
3. With BY, short quick slants so he does not have to hold the ball long and take hits, mixing in run game to take pressure off the D with UT’s fast pace offense.
4.NO TURNOVERS- see A&M game
5. D has to make stops and limit the speed UT can go. Negative plays are our friend.

For Tennessee
1. Play fast and score quickly- keeps crowd loud
2. No BY- put pressure on a QB that 2nd guessed himself all last game
3. With BY- hit him every play, he will be worried about his shoulder.
4. Stop run and make Bama one dimensional
5. Don’t let the 15 year streak get into your head if you get behind. Don’t panic to erase that streak
6. Use run to bring up DB’s the with the speed of the WR corps take the top off.
7. D must get 3 and outs to keep Bama from 6-8 minute drives- stay fresh.

Let’s have a good ole fashion slobber knocker of a game. Headed there Thursday afternoon.

Semper Fi!

I would add the NO Turnovers to UT as well. Also, limit missed tackles. In the last 2 games UT has missed 22 tackles. Both teams have a lot of penalties too.

For Bama it is simple - lay down and die
For TN it is simple - play the same game you did at LSU only don't kick 4 field goals make those TD's
