Heading to the Gaylord now for some Sparty sightings maybe (inlaws are all Spartans), but this is in the form of an almost guarantee:
Bama will try to set the tone by early play action, get the ball to the outside. Henry will be doing some decoy work early on, as the Bama O will want to get Sparty thinking, while also putting Coker in positions to succeed and build confidence with milkrun throws. Might even run a screen on first play. Goal is to set a mindset of "I do not know what to expect". By doing so, the numbers become more of a match at the point of attack. Hesitation ensues. This allows the Bama talent advantage to be showcased. Flipside: Betcha Dantonio is expecting this.
