My opinion on how to beat Bama

I've been studying Bama tape for awhile and I've kind of noticed a lot of traits especially from the last meeting when we played them. I think both teams has some similarities to there '09' teams. I noticed they had a pretty good amount of depth to consistently switch in and out of the game. They literally wore us down as the game went on especially around the 3rd and 4th quarter. I think one of the main things would be to develop some serious Defensive depth during the August Camp especially our D-linemen and Line backers. My second observation would be to try and contain there running game. I noticed Ingram had about 131 or more yards on us that's due to the wearing down of the defensive line and line backers. I know its easy to said than done. I think Logan's going to have his shots on this Bama secondary he's just got to take the best passes he can get. I know Tyrod was a younger qb at that time, but I noticed he had some guys down field that were open, but I don't think he wanted to take the chance. He was a great game manager, but if were going to be successful against them on offense we've got to be able to have a running game to open up our down field attack. And last, but not least converting on 3rd downs is a MUST if were going to beat Bama. Which I think we certainly can, but it won't be handed to us. I just hope that Bud's developing and bringing along his second string players as much as the starters, because that's the main key to beating them is being able to keep our players fresh on defense. I apologize if I bounced everywhere during this topicand i know i didn't use a lot of X's and O's like i should or could have and i know it's not as good as the others who post here hence why i changed my title from ''keys to beating Bama'' to ''my opinion on how to beat Bama''.
