Well I would hope we get 42 in the first half and Tua sits the rest of the game. RTR!

I just hope the QB-run plays are ripped from the playbook until needed, and whoever calls such plays is put in stocks.

   Bro. Chechem, I must say I gave you an e-cred on this one cause I agree.    RTR!

It should be 49 by halftime.  HTH

-- Saban said the Missou offense has the upper hand because the quarterback can read the defense, look to the sideline and change the play. Saban added Missouri's scheme has pro style mechanisms.

-- Saban said Missouri uses a lot of personnel packages and that will force Alabama to adjust on defense.

Ole Miss used just 3 sets all day.  We may have to make a few adjustments without Diggs.

I think Mizzou could challenge Bama's young DBs.  It will be good practice for them, while Bama's offense scores on every possession.

I would enjoy that.
But I may have to up my score guess.

Tua's knee:

No reports of him in a boot    yet, but the rumors are flying.  He was wearing a brace after the first half last week.  He's listed as "probable" in ESPN's Injury List, and MGM Grand pulled the Alabama-Mizzou line (presumably due to the injury; they do that).

But he's been practicing all week, according to CNS, so let's hope it isn't worthy of all the concern.

Good article from Thursday:

Mizzou plays a straight-up, conventional style of defense with standard cover packages, but they can’t seem to stop any team that throws the ball well. They seemingly can’t stop even mediocre passing teams, as Purdue feasted on 572 yards passing in a loss to the Tigers earlier this year.  Purdue quarterback David Bough is no Tagovailoa, and the Boilermaker receivers can’t match the elite set of future NFL talents the Tide fields at the WR position. Bama’s recipe this weekend will be simple: They’ll need to do what they do best by taking the reins off Tua and letting him sling the ball to his cadre of targets while dissecting the opponent of the week through the air...

I hope our cadre of targets are healthy this week. We need SC's 49 at the half so Tua can sit out the 2nd half and rest that knee, providing we play any kind of D.

^^^^ I totally agree with the above. RTR!

10/07/18   DL   Rashad Brandon   Hip   injured last game, is "?" Saturday vs Alabama

 

Looks like Mizzou will be missing some WRs.  Might have to downgrade my score prediction.

Their offense is capable.  Their top WRs were injured 2 weeks ago, and they've adjusted a bit since.  But SURELY EVEN OUR YOUNG DBs can stay with backup WRs from Mizzou.
 

[McBaman]

This could be a game where Jalen plays an important role.  If Mizzou's D is as porous as it sounds, then let Tua put some quick strike points on the board.  Then Jalen can come in and put up some grind-it-out points, running the clock and giving our D some rest.

I'd love to see Tua sit out the 2nd half but that may be wishful thinking.  Would be nice if Mac could QB the 4th qtr and at least run clock.

Our 1st team OL will need to play a lot in 2nd half to maintain possession.
