ESPN analyst talks about the chess match between the two coaches on Saturday.
Alabama defensive lineman Tim Keenan III .The Alabama Crimson Tide football team hosts Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders in Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa Saturday, Sept. 2, 2023. There will be plenty to take in when Saturday when Texas visits Alabama, but Kirk Herbstreit revealed what he believes will be the game within the game.
“Incredibly gifted, talented guys,” Herbstreit said about Texas’ running backs. “I think that we talked a little earlier about Quinn Ewers is going to get a lot of attention and he should, but I think Sark’s system has always been about balance, and it’s always been about not abandoning the running game.“A big part of what he does is run the football to set up the play action. He has so many looks on his play action and RPO game that look like they’ll run.
“If that’s negated and you’re running into a wall, which is what Alabama tries to do with their three-four scheme, ... not to get too in-depth, but they two-gap you, which means those big defensive linemen aren’t going to have a lot of stats, but they’re going to eat two offensive linemen up,” he explained. “They’re basically building a fence as you try to run the football. Then those edge guys try to keep the contain. So they’re trying to essentially build a wall against your run game.
