It is true if the situation remains a constant - when there are other variables it is an unknown that can at times remain the same but cannot be determined with any predictability.

LSU plays differently at home and away. They play up and down against good and bad teams. There is not much that can be predicted this particular season.

Given that premise, what is the chance that LSU discovers a dynamic offense against Alabama in 10 days?


Many would consider a great running game (albeit with poor passing) as still being a good offense. The logical ones would agree that the goal is a win and the path doesn't matter.

Can someone explain to me why we don't put Shep or OBJ in motion on the Ware-cat? This gives the option to sweep and bring the play out laterally or fake it and let Ware do his thing up the middle. The way we run it now, it is a short yardage situation only and everyone knows where it is going. The pitch to Ford was a nice misdirection that almost broke a TD. I like the Ware-cat, but I'd just like to see some misdirection added to it to keep the D from knowing exactly where it is going.

I expect we will. We've seen Ware run, we've seen him pitch to Ford. We haven't seen him hand off to Shepard on the jet sweep, which is in the play by design (Shep goes in motion). We also have seen Ware throw fairly accurately on a few passes, so we know that might be in the play too. A quick slant to Landry or Beckham on short yard plays at midfield, with the defense cheating in on the runs would be a logical choice, and a good shot at a TD.

Now, my pick would be to run the pass before the jet sweep, to muddle the defense more. Then come back with Shep once you have them on their heels.

Knowing the base offense struggles in the redzone, where things have to be quick into close coverage, and knowing Bama plays like a redzone defense most of the time (they don't think you have the time to run a slow developing play against them, so they don't play back), we might see more Ware QB plays then you'd expect.

Depends on our o-line; Bama will play the run and the quick slant. If Mett has time to look deep consistently, then the line is holding up, and he's ok. If he doesn't, he's at risk for a couple pick-sixes on those slants, and Miles might buy time by playing the Ware offense more, if just to be able to punt and play his own defense in better shape.
