re: Alabama's offense more Versatile than LSU offense

We can agree to disagree. Both teams run a vanilla offense but I think LSU is less vanilla than Bama. From what I've seen of Bama, they get the ball to Trent Richardson up the middle (I've been surprised at how little he gets the ball off tackle)and they throw him screen passes. As for the passing game, it is your typical "Don't frick up" passing game, i.e tight end drags, slants, etc.

Since Jefferson has started playing, not only have we added the option game but we didn't change the downfield passing game we ran earlier with Lee.

That being said, both teams have amazing defenses, so they have run offenses that play to that defense. It'll be interesting to see what both offenses looks like for the championship game. Does Saban have enough belief in McCarron to let him sling it?
