Sure. Jeter crapped his pants and the execution blew.

But, go back and look at it. Ignore the offense for a second. I want you to look at WISKY's alignment pre-snap.

Then, I want you to look at the first step the LBs take as well as the safety.

Let me tell you something. IDGAF who you have blocking. If a defense can do that without fear, you are in for a long fricking day.

They defended that play as if it was the ONLY play that could possibly come at them. And, they were right.

It was 4th and 1, dude. Every coach in the world would run that play with LF7 in the backfield on 4th and 1. Your dumb arse argument that this is a predictable play call is because that is exactly what should be called. Only a Rant Genius like you would dial up a double reverse on your Xbox.

I noticed that live. It was just total jail break. They sent everyone they had.

That is part of the frustration of LSU fans. Why dont we run some plays that the defense wont know is coming. Defenses are game planning for our vanilla crap and we don't adjust to that.

While I completely agree, it still doesn't excuse the Oline and Jeter losing/completely whiffing the 1 on 1 battles.

For frick's sake, look at the play. Two TEs need to block one LB. Now look at the hole created by the line. Now look at all the open field that LF7 had to run with if that one block had been made. It's about execution and making a block, not about your clever frickin trick play on Madden.

I didn't ask for a double reverse.

In fact, I would tend to run right at em too.

The problem for LSU is, there is basically a zero chance out of that formation that the ball is going anywhere but the exact spot it went.

A team with reasonably competent players is going to defend that.

There is a pretty good chance that LF7 takes that one to the house if those two TEs execute blocks. The field beyond that tackle was wide open.

Absolutely correct. When linebackers shoot gaps on every play without fear of having to cover tight ends or running backs out of the backfield....it's curtains.

four straight run plays to get 9-1/2 yards. I think thats when I cashed it in for the day.

This sort of thing only clouds the issue. You're going to get tuned out if you nitpick every single call, especially when 100% of coaches have made that same call in that same situation.

Sometimes, you line up and run a play the other team expects, because you believe you can win the yard needed anyway, especially with the best player in football carrying the ball.

That is football. LSU had 10 guys around the LOS with 1 WR. Wisconsin responded with 10 guys around the LOS. Wisconsin was in man coverage so as soon as the ball is snapped and Moreau/Jeter block down, the LG pulls, and LF and Moore go to the right, everyone is going to the right.

The left side OLB or CB, #14, stayed home to protect against a bootleg. The right side CB stayed with who I assume to be Dupre. It wasn't like they guessed run and didn't respect the pass. They guessed run because everything we showed meant it was a run.

And yet, if ONE of the TEs makes a block, we're not having this discussion.

Nah I'm not going to give them shite for that call when it should have been a TD with even basic execution. The coaches didn't overthink it, the players just fricked it up.

You could say that about every run play on Saturday....if if if if if if....you sound like Miles. Instead of focusing on executing blocks against 11 men with 9 blockers can't our coaching staff figure out a way to fool somebody every now and then. It's almost as if the staff feels like fooling the defense is illegal...or some cheap way to win...like they're madden fanatics who refuse to run the money plays or go for it on fourth down because it's not "realistic".

Yes, 10 defenders at the line. If you have 3 receivers more than likely they keep a safety a few steps back. At least if your QB is a threat to pass.

Would like to see a little misdirection on a play like this. Just a little.

Remember when DeAngelo Peterson had the ball tossed back to him on a reverse against Bama?

Read the OP again. I did NOT critique the CALL.

That call probably works if the defense isn't ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN they don't have to defend anything but that one spot on that situation/formation
