Let you know when Alabama plays a ranked team. Penn State is a Top 10 team.
Safies are pretty bad, corners are OK. Pretty much what it is in what you said there though.
Thankfully the 2 teams on our schedule that were gonna give this defense the most problems (TCU and PSU) are beaten and overwith
MSU and Michigan both kind of play into the hands of this defense. Same with Wisconsin who would be the likely opponent in the B1G title game. Though the offense could always crap the bed and cost us one of those games. We will see though.

You don’t have to worry about UM beating you with quick throws. Our outside WR’s seem to only run go patterns. Though if your safeties aren’t good — UM’s TE could give you problems.
I HOPE AND PRAY Tarik Black is back and healthy in a few weeks. We find out in Thursday. Without him — UM has had issues getting separation on any route that is a fly pattern. Nico Collins and DPJ can both get behind a defense, but they have issues getting off the line.
Right now though — UM isn’t ready to play a top ten team.
Not sure if I was watching the same game as the coaches. All 3 starting LB's graded out as "champions" in the evals.I still don't think Borland is back at 100% at this point. He was so fantastic against the run last year but he's definitely off. Browning is still just a 2nd year guy, so I'm sure he'll come along. Malik Harrison is wildly inconsistent, and Werner is still learning. The biggest issue this year it the lack of proven veteran leadership. Borland started for about half the year last year, but otherwise, this is a very green group. They're talented, no doubt, but they need more experience.
They played a great game against OSU, but I wouldn’t call them a top 10 team. They are the same team who gave up 38 to App State and needed OT to beat them.
They had a great game plan against OSU though.
You know the best team usually doesn't have the best resume right?
Sure but to judge how good Alabama is I want to see them tested by a top team.
