We win the game if we just run the plays 'Bama ran against us on their last drive last year. Cameron has really improved the offensive execution, but frankly I didn't think they looked prepared on that last drive.

I remember McCarron saying after last year's game the Saban meets with the QBs the night before every game and goes over the plan for just such a situation, including which plays to run against the likely defense they'll see.

Don't think LSU had a package ready for the last drive. I thought against the Georgia D LSU could have easily gotten deep into Georgia territory by throwing to the backs or TE's over the middle. Clock stops on 1st down so having 1 time out shouldn't have been an issue with over 1:30 left.

The rest of the game plan seemed excellent, but not the last drive.

I thought this live as well, but it wasn't as bad as I thought on rewatch.


The first down sack was a great stunt by UGA and Turner just got toasted.

Then Mett hits Odell for a great 2nd and 17 conversion for a first down.


Then UGA just got pressure like they did most of the game and Mett couldn't find anything. It sucked, but I'm not sure that we did anything wrong.

We weren't just chucking it deep. We had pretty good designs, but UGA had good coverage (Jarvis was calling for interference on two of them, one should have been a definite flag, but as Danielson said, they just weren't calling interference all day).


The crowd was also going fricking berserk at that point. Just would have been a tough drive and we couldn't get it done. Sucks, but UGA's D just stepped up.

If this is actually what happens, which probably isnt, then that's fricking stupid. You dont review situations the night before a game for what may happen on the last drive. Things change, there is no way of knowing what defensive alignment they'd be in, what injuries occured to that point, what plays have been successful throughout the day, whether our O-line is picking up blitzes that game, etc. Wayyyyyy too many variables to factor in when considering what to do on the last drive of the game before the game has even started. I'll let you continue to suck Saban off though.
