If we run we're toast. No shot, he says.We need line of scrimmage reads, pre- determined routes and quick release passes into space. In other words, Hugh thinks that in order to have any shot at winning, we need to run Mike Leach''s offense and play like Cuogs???

Just out of curiosity, what would be your plan of attack against Bama? You're not going to be able to run it up the middle on them, they're too fast to run it east/west, and you won't have enough time to throw it deep. The quick pass game seems to me to be your best shot of moving the ball against them. I don't agree with much of what Hugh says but we're not going to impose our will on Bama in the run game

The quick pass game seems to me to be your best shot of moving the ball against them. I don't agree with much of what Hugh says but we're not going to impose our will on Bama in the run game You have to beat them by using motion/formations to your advantage to create advantageous situations. You have to get them to react instead of dictate. Their entire defense is built on stopping the run, getting pressure on the QB, and pressing short/intermediate routes because they don't expect to have to cover long. I fully expect that they will pay a lot of attention to John Ross.We need to be able to break our tendencies and that includes getting the ball out quickly ... We need to find ways to get Gaskin the ball in space in situations ... this will happen in the passing game not the running game. We will need to find opportunities to get Daniels the ball ... athletic TEs have given Bama some problems. But most importantly, we need to be content with the idea that we're not going to win the game through our offense. We're going to win the game through defense and special teams. If there's a recurring theme(s) in the last 5 years, it's the following 2 things:1) Turnovers Margin2) Very poor day for Bama kicking FGsWe need to be smart enough when it's 4th and 3 at the 38 to punt the ball inside the 10.We need to be smart enough to know when picking up 8-10 yards on a 3rd and 20 is a potential free first down on our next possession.We need to make sure we protect the ball at all costs ... look at what LSU did this year simply by not turning the ball over and relying on their defense ... scoreless into the 4th quarter.We need to have a field position changing play in special teams ... Van Winkle needs to be the best kicker on the field (enough said about that) ... and we can't allow a punt block. We need to play an A or A+ level game for us and force Alabama into something more in their B or C range. We have a lot of pieces that will give us at least a punchers chance.
If that's your mentality you have already lost. UW won't win playing 1 dimensional football
Alabama is smaller on defense than they used to be. Line up Dissly or Sample in the pseudo, shotgun offset I and run power right at them. Guard pulls and the TE in the backfield gets anyone who filters through.I do think it is more of a game for Coleman than Gaskin. That patient, wait for the holes shit doesnt seem like a recipe for success against Bama's speed.Really though, UW has to commit to the run even if it's not successful. We are fucked if Bama can just pin their ears back every down.
We need Tedford right now so bad.
