One of the best ways to throttle the number one scoring offense in the country is to keep them off the field. The Alabama football team must make it very clear early in the game they have no intention of getting sucked into a 60-minute shootout game with 120+ points scored. As reported by ESPN in September, Army was able to hold Oklahoma to a mere 28 points, their lowest all season, by dominating the time of possession at nearly 45 minutes. While scoring within the first 30 seconds of game time is exciting, Alabama will need sustained, lengthy drives to control the time of possession and keep the Heisman trophy winner on the sidelines.
