Are a huge nightmare matchup against anyone. ND has better corners than Alabama in my opinion, they weren’t ready for the physicality that comes with lining up against Clemson receivers for 60 minutes. I will admit I didn’t expect ND to hold us down how they did for the first part of the game but as you see it didn’t take long for our size and physicality to wear them down and starters headed off like flies unfortunately for ND. Alabama is not very deep at corner, starters are very talented but raw. Surtain was abused all game by OU, Smith will be expected to cover Tee which is a nightmare for anyone at this point leaving Ross on Surtain. Renfrow and Rodgers over the middle is alway lethal but watching UGA and OU abuse the middle its looking great for this coming up week if TL can hit the reads, but I do expect he works on getting his throws up, Bama is a big DL sand will get a hand up as he had many batted down by ND. I can’t wait for this week and it’s going to be all up to our defense to hold their amazing receivers for Bama. Let’s go Tigers!
No doubt our WRs are a matchup problem and also I agree ND secondary better than Bama’s this year. The weakness of Bama is FG kicker and secondary in my opinion.
Of course the question always remains is can we give Trevor the time to exploit our advantage? If we can protect Trevor think we have the advantage. Although it’s not like Bama doesn’t like their matchup with Tua and WRs vs our secondary. I’m liking our odds based on our secondary playing by far their best game against ND and keeping that momentum.
