We actually did try to throw some quick developing passes and it worked sometimes, but when Bama was playing man and pressing our receivers at the line and knocking their timing and routes off, it became more and more difficult to execute. Combine their dB play with their front 7 constantly pressuring our qb and making him throw out of a phone booth (limiting the trajectory of the pass, effecting burrows ability to step into a throw and eliminating possible throwing wimdows) or scramble out to avoid a sack and the play becomes all fricked up. It becomes a scramble drill at that point.
Bamas front 7 just whipped us and their dbs played a hell of a game too. We just didn't execute well enough. Some of that is due to our lack of talent and experience, but a lot of it had to do with them just being that good and we couldn't match them. We have to get better at the line of scrimmage or we won't beat teams like alabama has this year. Most of our passing woes on offense were bc of our inability to run the ball period on their front 7 and saban knew it and had us from that point on. Man for man they were just better than us up front. So, saban made their numbers make sure we couldn't double team them and when we did, their lbs roamed free and unblocked all game bc their dline just swallowed our blocks and didn't allow them to get to the 2nd level.

All of this. LSU has to get better at the line of scrimmage. This recruiting class helps with that. I don't understand why people can't see it. You've got guys here that will argue you up and down that LSU has plenty of talent on offense and they'll even start talking about how good past recruiting classes were. They simply will not hear that the team needs to be restocked with talent. It's supremely frustrating to attempt to have a discussion with them.

That's all fine and well, but there are ways to scheme around this. E's scheme is such that it plays to Bama's strengths. Which is fine if and when we can at least compete against those strengths, but we are woefully lacking in that arena right now.
