As the buildup to the Iron Bowl continues, college football analysts are trying to paint a picture of how Auburn could pull the upset.

During a segment this week on ESPN, Laura Rutledge and Bobby Carpenter discussed the possibility of Auburn pressuring the Alabama offense, and whether the Tigers could do it without blitzing.

“It’s going to be feast or famine, that’s the only way to slow down this Alabama offense,” Carpenter said on ESPN’s “Get Up!” “They’re too good, they’re too talented. Damien Harris can get it going with the running game, they can push the ball down the field. And to me the only way you have a chance is to get to Tua Tagovailoa.”

It’s not enough, he said, to sit back and make plays without attacking the quarterback.

“You have got to make sure he starts feeling that knee, he has to feel pressure around his feet. You hit him and you knock him around a little bit. That’s going to give you the ability then, to hopefully slow down that offense. Citadel did it a little bit, they held them to 10 points in the first half. I don’t know if anyone else will, but that’s the only way, Dan, I think you can do it.”

Rutledge asked Carpenter if Auburn is capable of bringing that pressure. He said ideally, any defensive coordinator would love to bring four players on a pass rush.

“We’ll bring four, we’ll get there, we’ll be able to play our seven-man coverage behind them,” Carpenter said. “But they’re going to have to add pressure in there. Tua can buy time, he’s good with his feet. Auburn has some horses up front. They have the athletes. They have four losses this year, but I still think the only way is you have to sell out and hit him and make him uncomfortable.”
