Alabama was susceptible last year to a good passing team though a lot of folks that don't watch week end and week out simply don't know. LSU QB passed for over a 60% completion percentage last year. The following week, I knew TAMU was going to give them problems having looked at them several times before the Bama game. Also, the other team the Bama has problems with was Georgia that has a very good balanced attack. To beat Bama, you must have a balanced offense. You have got to stretch field to open up your offense. Unless Bama has solidified their pass defense against SEC strong teams, someone will beat them this year. I suspect it will be LSU or Georgia in the championship game. I don't think it will be TAMU though. Manziel seems to be possessed by stupidity and confusion and their defense will be a weakness. Lastly, Bama as most of you all know is the beneficiary of a very weak schedule (no Florida, Georgia or South Carolina) which IMHO is a damn disgrace.
