Defense first, I want to see them stop the run & how they respond to UAB's early TE routes they're gonna be running.
UAB's offense is not good, they played against a FCS team that doesn't have any talent, we should be stout getting them off the field quickly, I don't wanna see no extended drive or being caught off guard, their offense is extremely simple & their sequences were super easy to chart. All our CB's has to do is come up quick on the Bubble screens & play towards the outside hashes to the sideline on Deep outs & comeback routes, that's all they throw.
As long as Baker isn't a complete ****** moron he should be able to devise a gameplan to completely shut this trash *** offense down. They don't do anything that's confusing or complex, just maintain gap discipline on those stretch zone cutback runs & under no circumstances whatsoever do not bite down on the Play action ball fake, because their QB sucks & telegraphs his passes. They'll hand the ball over to us if we just sit comfortable & play sound technique. We don't need to Blitz them too heavy, drop 7 in coverage & that QB will underhand toss us the ball.
Put the Defense on the field first, get a stop & let our offense get settled in.
