The only thing I want to know is can they really stop the run since they really don't play teams who put an emphasis on running.
When a team can run the ball it will demoralize you especially if they drive it down your throat in a 10 play drive and then turn around and do it again. The defense will get wore down.
Like I have said before the lay off may hurt them from their last game till the BCS NCG and barring any injuries they should be in New Orleans on Jan 9th. Maybe OSU had a bad game against Texas or they may not be as dominate as OU.
Alabama has a couple of games that kinda worry me and this week is one of them. 2 years ago Bama had to block 2 field goals to beat Tenn, and a last minute drive to beat Auburn.....LSU is a given and Auburn is always a hard game.
Maybe I am just being a little naive about Bama but I have been in the stadium when La.Monroe beat Bama and in the stadium when we had a 24-0 lead on Auburn. Nothing is a given......a couple of lucky breaks one way and the game can turn in a instant.
Alabama is allowing 7 points a game average this year...if that trend continues then they will be hard to beat especially since Bama can run the ball with 3 good backs. The LSU game will tell alot about Bama, but the game after LSU will tell more.

If Bama gets a good passing game going they will be even more scary.
