Can Alabamas defense stop Ohio State??

[TheDayMan]

Ohio State is top 4 in Touch Downs this year.

Yeah, but they've had favorable matchups all year. This game is an unfavorable matchup for Ohio State. Remember?

Well this thread is going exactly how I thought it would before playing out.


1. 1 rational outside fan(SJ76)
2. UNAlion mentioning the bama poor secondary and giving OSU a chance
3. Every other bama fan saying no shot
4. Every OSU fan saying exactly the opposite
5. The patented completely random comment courtesy an outside fan...Goldburg.


We will see if the next 10 or so pages continue to play to the script.

Asking a legit question involving this game may be a exercise in futility... LOL

I hope they both lose.

LOL at you still being mad because the Pac 12 has a weaker Bowl Slate.

Quit following me around and go back and cry in the other thread if it still upsets you.

You're getting answers. Of course OSU and Bama fans will disagree. We'll find out in a couple weeks...

Oh, that argument only works when you make it... Now I know.

And I'll make you a deal. Stop making stupid posts, and I'll stop commenting on them...

I have never made a stupid post in my life.

Its obvious the Pac 12 weaker bowl slate argument got you all flustered and you are still bothered by it.

Its okay, the sooner you accept it the sooner you stop looking silly.

You didn't get the attention you craved after 20 posts in my other thread so you came over here to beg for it some more.

Jeezus dude. Get a grip.

Alabama's defense works based on forcing the offense into low % plays. If an offense is able to hit those plays, they will score points. But those low% plays really start to shut down once you get into the red zone. And in order to even make it that far you often have to hit multiple low% plays in a row.

I've yet to see an offense really drive on Alabama. Even with the Auburn game they were hitting low% plays, but they couldn't sustain long drives. Long drives is what I worry about.

So I don't know. There isn't much you can do if a team is just on fire and hits those passes like Oklahoma did last year.

 

[KnightAndDay]

If Cardale Jones has sustained success, particularly on the intermediate throws, expose Bama's secondary as not something it used to be, I think they can win


With Bama stacking the box, tOSU WR's need to win the 1-on-1 matchups for them to have that success.


It remains to be seen how limited tOSU's red zone opportunities will be. Every opportunity they do get they need to capitalize on. Settling for 3 points wont keep them in this.


Fortunately for Bama, their biggest strength defensively is in the trenches. Whoever wins here, wins the game. This is the deciding factor IMO

And with our Punter this year it really makes it that much harder to drive the field on Bama.

Look at you deflecting from the point...

Also a good point 4D. OSU is however a big play offense so that matchup will be intriguing.

Read past the chippy sniping and this thead makes some good points where I wouldn't have considered. Still got Bama, but could be a lot closer than I thought.

 

[Bamabino]

Bamabino gets perma banned for being an idiot

In your head son. Another one bites the dust.

The better question might be can OSU stop Bama's offense. OSU is ranked 4th, while Bama is ranked 8th. I give the edge to Bama because of better defensive opponents.

Probably not, I see Cooper running circles around our secondary
