5. Trevor Lawrence vs. Alabama’s secondary

The weakness on Alabama’s defense is the secondary.

The Crimson Tide don’t have the depth that they’ve had in the past few years. So, the first storyline to watch is how Trevor Lawrence is able to attack that defensive backfield.

Can he?

Lawrence won’t be given a lot of time to throw the ball. The Bama defensive line will pressure him and it will be up to Trevor Lawrence to find the open man and throw accurate passes.
