I’m not sure we were figured out when we played Bama last year. Then teams determined you could attack the intermediate middle. Then I believe we determined that our LBs need to drop rather than attack the underneath routes/chase the RB to the flat. In 2021 and early 2022, we chased much of that underneath/RB flat with a LB drawing them out of the middle. The last Bama TD was the intermediate/deep middle. From what I recall, they ran the inside guy on a vertical to push the safety deep then ran behind the LB. Depth may have been ok if the spatial awareness was on point. I think we’re still vulnerable there. Lb depth is still a bit hit or miss. The awareness to get underneath in breaking routes is hit or miss too. Fords pick versus Rice was a pretty poor throw - a tick late, too flat. Safeties were relatively tight too so Captain Transfer couldn’t air it out. But LB pass coverage is tough and difficult to find great cover guys there. Probably some unrealistic expectations too. If our pass rush stays consistent, that’ll make a huge difference.
