I'd live to hear LSU's thoughts on Bama vs Wisconsin in terms of complexity.
in terms of complexity, Bama is the more difficult opponent.
Wiscy does what Wiscy does well (solid defense and ball control offense with Gordon as the Workhorse) and when they get away from that, they ain't real good.
The frustrating thing about Bama is their ability to adapt in-game and change things up to exploit your weaknesses.
they are very capable of just lining up and pounding it up the gut. or they can go to the short pass game with slants and screens. or they can open it up a bit and play more spread type.
power running is their bread and butter, but they are good enough at the other styles to be at least successful enough to make you change your defensive scheme. Which once again opens up the power run for them.
Defensively, Bama has athletes at every level, and for the most part do a great job of minimizing their mistakes and masking their weaknesses.
they are susceptible to the deep ball, but they use their front 7 to get just enough pressure to not allow you the time for the deep throws.
and if your QB makes a mistake downfield, their DBs will punish you for it.
