Take away short throws, and force Kentucky to throw deep
Devin Leary is an interesting quarterback prospect. The senior lacks size and arm strength but uses his IQ to pick defenses apart. As a result, Kentucky likes to use short passes to gain quick yards and give their receivers a chance to earn more yardage when they do throw. If you can limit what Leary can do in the short passing game, and force him to throw deep, Bama’s defensive talent in the secondary should be able to capitalize on Leary’s mistakes.
