The jist I get is the crew that is worried is pumping the line ULM shut us down running, so why shouldnt State be able to do so?

Well using that same logic, UABs leading rusher went for 90 against State. Why if UAB's leading rusher was able to do that; why wont our backs that are much better be able to at worst match it? I mean shouldnt State be worried about us running over them using this same logic...

We didn't give enough carries to Fournette, look at his YPC before the last two garbage time carries.

We could def run all over Moo St if we can get some good line blocking.

I don't know how much more I can take of us running into a brick wall that is a stacked box. What was our yards per carry in the first half against UW? It couldn't have been much more than 1.0. We have to make them respect the pass even a little bit before we're gonna be able to march down the field driving it down people's throats.

ULM


While I do believe the offense line does need to play better in the future, ULM has a pretty solid defense. They were ranked one spot behind LSU at 19 coming into the game last weekend. All but two of their starting defenders are juniors or seniors, with the other two being sophomores in the secondary.

First of all, LSU absolutely does not run any pro sets. Most say that they run a pro style since they aren't trying to go with the fad flashy college offenses (I guess) but I haven't seen them line up in a pro set in years. Sure it might happen a few times a game but that aint shite.


Second, the I-formation is Les' favorite form and I it is also my favorite because I personally believe that it is the best formation for utilizing the strengths of a team.

For instance, if you have one road grader TE and one R Dickson TE on your offense then you can definitely line up with only one rec and 2 TEs and be extremely effective passing the ball. By varying the number of TEs and WR, the Tigers can seek out mismatches in personnel and still have many options from the same formation for audibles, etc.

The Tigers use other formations but this seems to be CLM's thing and it is a damned good formation that is extremely flexible. It is a major reason why the Tigers have always worn opponent's down and have dominated the 4th qtrs for a decade now.
