of course the play of Harris is critical as always .BUT IMO the play of DE Lewis Neal will be huge in determining the final outcome.
Alabama pass pro has been their Achilles heel. Tennessee exploited that weakness by sacking and pressuring Coker the entire game. And Tenn didn't have many sacks coming in to the game.
Coker operates best in the pocket. Flushing him doesn't give him many options. He's not fleet afoot and doesn't throw on the run very well. A moving pocket gives Coker only half the field to throw to.
In order for Neal to be able to pin his ears back and go LSU will have to check Henry on early downs giving Ala. 3 and long downs.
