Alabama: The Good, The Bad

That looks painful.

Should have been a 15 yd penalty but I don't believe he should be penalized for it.

I guess we all are a little edgier the closer we get to game day.

Now give me a green rep to counter act that red one you gave me.

Murray himself said the hit was shoulder first. It should have been penalized though, as there was obvious helmet to helmet contact. I just don't think it warranted a suspension.

I'm a Alabama fan and am very worried about this game.

The secondary is very young and can be easily exposed. They often seem to just do the wrong thing.

It will be interesting to see how well Barrett Jones is doing with his sprained foot. He injured it in the first quarter of the SEC CG. He obviously was able to play through the pain, but still. He doesn't ever seem to have trouble playing against powerful players, he struggles against quickness.

I haven't seen Notre Dame play all year, but from what I have read, they are excellent. This AL team is not as dominant as the last 3, and is very beatable.

Louis Nix is very quick believe it or not. How can a guy that big be that quick?I have no idea. He really does get off the ball fast though.

Then that quickness will give Jones problems, especially with the foot injury. It will take him a while to adjust.

How deep is Notre Dame? Alabama is as deep as you could ever want a team to be - except in the secondary. Alabama will give up big pass plays to you guys.

How much does your D-Line weigh?
How much depth does your D-Line have?

Alabama does not go out of their way to sack the quarterback. Pressure? Yes. They mainly try to contain plays. Again, the secondary is too young and at times, undisciplined. A lot of times when the D-Line gets penetration, our secondary quits on the play too early.

Our DL: DE Kapron Lewis Moore 306 lbs, NT Lewis Nix 326 lbs, DE Stephon Tuit 303 lbs (All American) Backups: Tony Springman 300 lbs, Kona Schmwenke 290 lbs, Sheldon Day 286 lbs. We have rotated our backups in throughout the year that said the only one that I have a ton of confidence in is Sheldon Day he is a true freshman but is a phenom. So I have some concerns about depth.

Our LBs are all big for LBs. All 4 starters go from 240 lbs to 255 lbs.
