How important was Kiffin sharing Alabama's shadow staff binder on LSU

Wut

All we ever needed was a competent Offensive Scheme that was not predictable in play calling and from formations.

We generally played Bama into the 4th quarter with an inept offensive scheme.

We will see if we can continue that into the future. With our QB recruitment and coaching to execute the scheme

Supposedly, O saw the detail that Alabama's shadow staff was producing. Supposedly Alabama knew tendencies about LSU that even the LSU staff did not know!!!

It just looked like we would hit a brick wall when we would play them every year. There were even rumors of spying from time to time. Most of this had to be because they had so much more info on us than we had of them.

I think it was huge and will be going forward.

Important enough for Kiffin to share the details. Important enough for O to add that to the program asap. I think bottom line it gives us alot more than a week to prepare for opponents so when we go into game week we aren't starting at zero and adds a wealth of knowledge into gameplanning. Not to mention how blown away O was by how much better prepared they were than we were. Obviously it's a pretty big deal

I believe the "check with me" touchdown over Stingley was a result of Alabama's shadow staff discovering LSU DBs would look at the bench when there was a perceived audible.

I think this was something noticed on the field during the game by the coaches or players

If I’m a receiver and I notice the DB looking away for a second or two to the sideline I go back to the huddle or sideline and tell them when he looks away snap the ball and I’m gone.

Yes it took a football brain equal to Belichick to know we were going to run toss dive, short side option, long developing play action pass....

Everyone knew the offense, there were about 7 plays

But...the greatest coach in LSU history

Elaborate please.

Kiffin shared it with Alabama? Or shared it with LSU?

Saban put extra extras in preparing for this game- Rivalry, Destination Game, and most importantly Recruiting Advantage if won. Saban said as much a couple years ago that once his team beat LSU , he noticed the fire and hunger drops a notch or two.
