The biggest issue for the Alabama defense the last couple of games of course has been getting off the field on third down. The best way to make that achieve this is to contain Tennessee running back Dylan Sampson. On first and second down this defense will need to hit him at or behind the line of scrimmage. If he is able to get five and six yards a carry, then it may be a long day for this defense. He has only had one game with under 100 yards and is the only consistent part of the Volunteer's offense.
