Yeah, Singleback and Iformation all night long. No creativity, no read option, no RPO's. Simple play action on plays that took too long to develop against this Bama defense. Not sure why everyone wants to blame the OLine.

WHEN YOU HAVE A BAD OLINE, YOU RUN SHOTGUN AND QUICK PASSES or SLANTS.

Each time I saw the Iformation I was furious because we had heard all the past 2 weeks that Esminger had prepped DAY AND NIGHT INTO THE WEE HOURS... To bring this shitty Les miles offense?? WUT??

Or how about rolling the QB out instead of him being a sitting target with 5 and 7 step drops.

Tigerlee, you still sad about Les Miles? It's over BAW. It's Herman or PJ fleck time.

Can Etling run the read option?

The way our tackles were whiffing, a rollout might have gotten Etling killed. At least when he was in the pocket the OL occasionally served as speed bumps.

If a starting quarterback on LSU can't run the simple read option, we have a real problem on our hands. fricking a true freshman on Bama did. How dumb are you people

You're dumb.


The play calling was poor, but we were definitely in a lot of spread/shotgun formations last night.

Correction, Coach O brought a Les Miles offense to Bama. Coach O got all the credit for the first three wins. Tiger fans wanted him given the permanent job immediately. But now, when we get shutout we are supposed to deflect the blame to someone else?

GTFO

BH was the best option for last night game.


The rant called me crazy BH fanboy every name in the book for saying it but its true.

BH has mobility. Read option ability. He can throw it to the other team but IMO he just has more tools to work with against Bama than Etling does.

It was a combination of the two. No blocking and piss poor play calling.

Why didn't Orgeron tell him to run quicker pass plays?

Hey, don't blame the coaching. Bama was the better team. That Bama DL front seven was brutal. Even saw Josh Boutte flat on his back on one play. Guess you would call that a reverse pancake? I didn't think anybody could do that. Even Danielson made the comment JB prolly doesn't want to see that replay on game film. Yikes!

Bottom line. Nick Saban is the best collegiate football coach....period. Bama is headed for another NC. Yawn!

But good effort Tigahs! You had Bama against the wall for three quarters. So far this season, nobody even came close to doing that.

Gives credit to Orgeron for wins and offensive production
Blames Ensminger when we lose and we get stuffed on offense

What I didn't like was bringing Malachi or another receiver in motion from the outside back towards the offensive linemen to help block on running plays.... it brought another defensive player into the mix making it harder for Fournette to find a hole... offense went Miles vanilla last nite.... no Guice and Fournette in the back field together lining up in split back or one in the slot..... no 4 receiver set to take out a linebacker on defense.... etc....

You mean an athletic qb that has speed? Let's say Etling could keep the option all night and took off, how long would it take the bama defense to close out on him? He wouldn't get more than 2 yards a carry.
