bama will get to the qb quickly and often if that is the style we play. I hope our scheme to start off the game is designed quick passes like 5 yards slants and screens to get the ball moving and the defense on their heels. that set with guice and fournette seemed super effective.

What really nips PA in the bud is Bamas intense defensive discipline. When the safeties and LBs don't bite, it will cause keep the coverages in place.

Play action is always a huge part of LSU's offense. They have been lining up in the shotgun a bunch anyway so it's not like they are just going I-form or single back sets all night long.

Many people see Bama's D as being something that it is not. I like our D better... and our offense. It's amazing how much they've improved.

If LSU can't run the ball then play action won't matter at all.

I concur. TE's will have to be instrumental in beating Bama this year. We'll have to do what they did to us in round 2 of the infamous 2011/12 season. If we get the TE's involved early and successfully, the run will help open up the PA pass

DE seems to be very comfortable adjusting at the LOS to what the D is giving them. He appears to be in full command of the OFF/system. This will be crucial as we assess, and react to the Bama D.

We'll need to work the TE and short passes to WR to loosen them up, back them off the LOS and keep them from just running upfield. Anyone notice on the Chalk TD pass, the S immediately bit on D. Smith pass route? The use of the TE is making this OFF much more flexible and lethal. We can do this, but it will ALL start up front IMO with the OL. They need to give DE a little bit of time, and provide a crease, just a crease, to LF/Guice.

should not even use play action. Either quick passes from shotgun or roll out passes. Put LF in slot alot.
you will have to pass first before you can run. You will have to either roll qb out to buy time our throw quick slants and deep passes that leave the hand early.

We are not going to buy time with play action. First they are not afraid of our running game and second they do not think the qb will have time to throw. Play action will just use up a valuable 1/2 second.

Going to need to roll the pocket/hit some quick shots to TE/RBs. Bama will play a lot of press-man early pressure DE. Gonna need to scheme to protect him. Can't give up the kind of pressure we gave up vs Ole Miss.


That said, if we can chip away at shallow gaps early, I think it will force the DBs to give a little cushion/force a LB to cheat back a step, thinking pass.

If so, that will open a few running lanes for LF/Guice.


Regardless, you gotta think CEO and CSE are drawing something up. They both know winning this one could very well mean they keep their jobs.

No offense to the chalk board crowd, but this is LSU - Bama. Just as in years past, it will come down to the kicking game and mistakes. The winning points will come from a short field via the kicking game and the winner will have two mistakes, the loser three.

PA won't be effective until we can prove we're able to run on them. Safeties aren't looking into the backfield when you're running for 2 yards per rush.

U are right about little time. Thing is we don't need PA cuz they gonna sell out on the run anyway. So the matchups will be there for us to exploit. ? Is can we win em and execute.
