I have some major concerns about our D. I realize that the few times that Navy's receivers were open was only because our entire secondary was keying 100% on the run. Can we stop an oridnary running attack?

Is UAB really that ordinary? I thought they broke out some option against the Sooners?

I dunno how the D will do. According to some that were apparently paying closer attention that I was, our D-line was lining up about 2 feet away from the Navy O-line. Here's hoping that if we line up on top of UAB we'll be able to push them around a little.

I really think our secondary is going to be fine, btw. We'll know for sure Sunday.

I imagine they are more ordinary than Navy. I'm sad!

UAB will have about the 4-5th toughest running game we face this year so we had better figure it out.

I'd be less concerned if we were 100% healthy. With Hunt still out, Setzer out for a couple of weeks, and Bell's status still up in the air, we're definitely a little thin in the front 7. I do think we will do pretty well against UAB's offense though. Our secondary is one of the strengths of our team, and they will certainly be involved in a more conventional way this weekend.
