Saban will not let us run the ball. He will sell out and put (8) in the box..and blitz us to death. Remember years ago losses to Georgia, Florida, and Texas were due to the passing game beating Saban's defense. Our receivers will get one on one coverage they just have to beat it and Lee must deliver. We will know at the end of the 1st quarter if we can hang.

JL might be the worst college qb at moving to avoid the rush. He looked terrible last night anytime there was pressure.

The reason I'm hopeful about this game is the fact that Les Miles is a great game coach. I think he will do, or at least try to do, whatever it takes to win the game. You might see a few wrinkles ... "Wild Tiger formation" ... more JJ at QB, more designed running plays for JJ .. something, anything, that Bama hasn't seen before on LSU game film. Maybe more Trindon. Some reverses. Defensively, we MUST blitz.

Try that running back out of the back field play that used plague LSU while Saban was here. We could gash them big and get a quick six.

Our defensive line will have to play their best game of the year. Put Rahem Alem in there more so that he can get to Wilson.

Simple gameplan for Bama. Stack the line like everybody else does and wait for LSU to make mistakes.

LSU must make completions down the field and limit the interceptions to 1 (maybe 2 if we can get a couple)or they will not win...period.

Offense

1. screen, screen, screen
2. Attack the middle of the field. Bama's LBs jump the short crossing routes. Clear out with the TE and get the ball to a RB (circle route) or or slot WR over the middle.
3. Attack downfield. Bama has supsect speed at Safety and CB. We need at least 3-4 attempts to throw the ball over the top.
4. Be patient, Expect to have to eat the ball at times. Don't force any throws.

Defense

1. Stop the run (obvious)
2. Attack upfield with the front 4 on obvious passing downs (See SC game). Bama's OL is susceptible to giving up a pass rush from the interior.
3. Blitz only with a purpose. No sell out blitzes. Only blitz in an attempt to force the short throw and quick tackle short of the line to gain.
4. Press the WRs. Don't give them free release off the line.

Misc

1. Tiger Stadium. In my experience Tiger Stadium is at it's best playing in a game where LSU is the underdog. It's a totally different feeling than when the fans expect to win. Hopefully, the Saban factor will not get in the way of that.

Sound like an easy way to beat LSU.
