I just watched the 2014 Iron Bowl again (and yes, it is pretty painful until about the last 4 minutes of the third quarter), and I can't believe how our D bled on the run game! So I was wondering, what are some of your suggestions about how Bama can stop AU's offense. I don't think either a 3 man or a four man defensive line is capable of doing it. And I certainly don't think a "let's read what the offense is doing" approach is capable of doing it since the hand offs are given to guys already accelerating (if not at top speed). I think the D has to be more of an attack style to give the QB less time to "read" our defense. What do you guys think?
