re: I'm so tired of hearing about scheme.

The quandary is that what we do on offense is so effective against most every one except one team. Now how do you go about it? Change everything to beat Bama? But how about if we end up with a team that does not match up with Ole Miss, UF or Aubie very well? Is it all about beating Bama at all costs as if all existence depend on it?
Here is an analogy. Oklahoma beat the chiiite out of Nebraska for a stretch in the 70's and 80's. Oky 12 wins and 4 losses over Nebraska. Did Tom Osbourne and company change everything for Oky? No as far as scheme, yes as far as recruiting.
They went out and secured dominant OL. They started recruiting players more aggressively outside of their traditional recruiting areas who were superior athletes. They invested heavily in their S&C program and facilities **(on a side note - Regardless of criticism on here, LSU is still fine in those departments).When they started matching and exceeding Oklahoma on the recruiting trail they started winning over Nebraska again.
