Can Alabama’s offense survive the relentless pressure of South Carolina’s edge rusher Dylan Stewart? The Crimson Tide face a major challenge as Stewart—widely regarded as one of the best defenders in college football—returns to full strength after a back injury. With previous matchups between these two SEC teams coming down to the wire, expect South Carolina to test Alabama’s offensive line and force creative blocking schemes. Look for Alabama to counter Stewart using multiple tight end sets, chip blocks, and running backs like Daniel Hill to share protection duties. Can Javen James, Jackson Lloyd, and Marshall Pritchett help keep Stewart at bay, or will he disrupt the game plan again? The contest at Bryant-Denny Stadium is shaping up to be a key early conference test, as Alabama aims to avoid another heart-stopping finish against the Gamecocks and maintain momentum in their national championship pursuit.
