I haven't watched all these teams this year but traditionally they run schemes that have some deception with the play calling. These offenses force you to prepare specifically to defend them.

Our scheme isn't based on anything remotely creative. It's based on trying to out physical the other team. And in cases like Saturday night it worked like a charm. When you play teams less physical and you play solid defense, sp teams and don't turn the ball over. I get it.

The formula worked great in 2011 in almost all of our games. We know which ones it didn't work so well in. And that year LSU's defense was all world and also had a heisman trophy finalist bailing us out in the games we were stuck in 2nd gear.

I personally don't give a shite what we run as long as it works. Even with the youth at QB this offense has looked pretty bad. What did the QB's work on all spring, summer, and every week during practice? Because it just seems like there isn't much they can do well. Why is this? Are they really just not talented? I refuse to be believe these guys are this bad even considering the inexperience.

Boston College has a really high-quality running quarterback. It's not that they can't pass, but if people are covered, he can run for first downs all day against most opponents. Maybe we should have found him first.
