The point Saban was making deals with keeping contain on Mauk, something that was an issue at times against Auburn. When ends got un-field, Marshall was able to run through the gap for decent gains.
"The one word that I would use how are we going to stop them: We have to play with great discipline," Saban said. "You have to disguise what you're doing and play with great discipline. The combination of those two things will help us. When we didn't play very well in the first half last week, that's why we didn't play very well." ...
Mauk hasn't gotten the press that he got last year, probably because of early-season losses. But he's a big-time QB. We don't need another QB having a career day against us. Hopefully he'll be more like Dak Prescott (bottled up, frustrated).
Mauk is a player and a competitor.
Much like boogerU MO loves the circus catches.
MO has a considerably better defense than those others.
However, they allowed GA 200+/yds rushing without Gurley.
Should be fun.
GO BAMA!
