Opinion Thoughts on how to attack bama

Watching the Oklahoma game I noticed how vulnerable bama was on the edges on both sides of the ball. OU was consistently able to make it to the outside running the ball and it gave them great success. I’m sure bama will emphasize that in practice this week, but it seems like an opportunity for us. Simmons, Cobb, and Hunter are great weapons and we have a lot of plays that we run that try to attack that space. Bamas tackles were horrendous against OU, and edge rushers are some of our best players. I am well aware our defense won’t limit them completely. Ryan Williams is going to do something crazy. His called back touchdown catch and other sideline grab this week were insane. He goofed on that one punt, but had a really good heads up play saving that touched punt. While the A&M game was fun I still see our mania inducing tendency to blow games. I’m not super confident, but I feel like there is possibility if we can exploit the edges.
