Scouting the Alabama Crimson Tide. Four things that can be exploited by Ohio State.

Before Ohio State takes the field against Alabama for the National Championship, we scout Alabama for weaknesses the BUckeyes can exploit.

Alabama’s offensive line is good, with one glaring issue

Against Florida, starting center Landon Dickerson went down with a knee injury and was ruled out for the rest of the season. While Alabama has some depth on their offensive line, the lack of Dickerson will be a huge loss against Ohio State. Haskell Garrett is going to require a lot of attention, or he will get pressure up the middle on Jones.

Alabama has a great offensive tackle in Alex Leatherwood, however, the right side of the line can be beaten. Should Alabama have to slide protection to block Garrett, Nick Saban will likely have to use Deonte Brown, which will help the left side loosen up.
