After long gains, LSU now rushes to run a play...

we did the same thing in 2013.

contrasted with years past under Miles, etc. where we often got a delay of game or had to take a timeout. Our players didn't know where to line up, etc.

The players were in shock the big gain happened

I recall we got into formation, QB would clap, then the entire offense would stand up and look at the sideline - I hated that. Such an energy drain. You got the defense on their heels - hit them again with another quick play.

A lot of responsibility for execution comes with the QB - and we have a smart capable experienced QB - he can recognize defenses and knows the quick checks. I hope this continues into SEC play - I think it gets a lot harder in the coming seeks.

I am pretty excited too but I feel like we had a delay of game.

The delay of game penalty was a bullshite call, that's why O was arguing it. The 25 second play clock started very quickly after a penalty, Coach O starting arguing with the official when it hit 10 seconds saying it needed to be reset properly. You could see him on tv arguing with the official when it hit 10 seconds, then he argued even more after the call.

In hindsight, should have just called a timeout. We had all 3 in our pocket at that point, save the 5 yards, Learning experience for him.

we do and we have at times in the past. but it seems we simply run up the middle real quick. I have no stats but I do not remember doing this successfully and knock off a real good gainer after the big play. it seems like this is either common place or the opposition has seen it on tape before and is expecting that play on a quick no huddle snap.

it would confuse their D if we did something different, like a pass to the TE or RB; something safe but not up the middle.

There seemed to be a play clock issue on that delay of game though.

It reset but before the signal on the filed was given to reset, we got jobbed out of 8 or 10 seconds.

We did ... but that was to be expected. They have little margin for error when there's multiple shifts. Even when he runs it perfectly, the clock would get down to 3 seconds.

Too many
