When they have to defend against the long pass, the short pass and the play action pass, the run will be much, much easier.

The long pass is questionable. Don't quote me but QB's against the Bama front 5 have a window of about 2.5 seconds to throw the ball. For there to be any success in the air the Husky OL will have to be in top form and the Bama DL will have to have a bad day. In short, the Huskies better put up a lot of points in the first half if they can because there's no way they can stand toe to toe with the Bama DL for 4 quarters.

The Tide’s defensive backfield is a sieve. Their DL has kept them in many games.

Any scheme that negates their blitz will be successful.
