re: LSU is going to surprise everyone and beat Alabama

The thing that I never understood about Less Smiles(and Ensmingers/CEOs last year) game plan against Alabama is, you know that your normal run-first game plan isnt going to work against Saban, so youre pretty much guaranteed an L. Its obvious you dont trust your passing game enough to win it for you and youre trying to minimize mistakes to try and keep it close but if you know youre going to get an L like you have the last 6 times, why not say "frick it" and just air it out and live with the results? I mean, you know youre not winning this game running. Like, 100% sure. You also know that the only teams that have beaten Saban have aired it out. Mistakes and all. So why not take a chance and at least look like you tried?
This is what frustrated LSU fans so much over the years with Les and why people considered him hardheaded and resistant to change. When you see something isnt working and you know its fatal why not at least try something different. You have nothing to lose if your going to die a slow death anyway. A close loss and a blow out loss is still a loss but I think fans would at least appreciate the effort if it didnt involve ramming your head into a brick wall.
