It's all about game plan.....let's hope they have a good one

There's a lot being kicked around as to the problems with this year's team and what needs to be done to fix the perceived problems. One thing I haven't seen mentioned much is the effect a good game plan can have on a game. It's one of the most crucial aspects but often overlooked in simply looking at a team's performance.

For example, Florida had two weeks to game plan and figure out how to stop the "potent" LSU offense and clearly came up with a good game plan that seemed to have an answer for anything the Tigers tried to do. Thus, the offense looked totally inept. That doesn't mean the team will look just as bad on offense the next time out, as they will be facing a different team with a different game plan so it will be a whole new game in many respects.

LSU will have 2 weeks to prepare for Auburn and I personally think that will make all the difference. I expect to see a whole new team show up Saturday night, but not because the lights are suddenly coming on or Jefferson and/or the OLine have just gotten that much better in the previous two weeks, but because I have confidence that the coaching staff will do a better job of coming up with a game plan that will be effective against Auburn.

It's all about game plan....though good execution goes a long way to help.

The coaches aren't total idiots as they clearly have gotten it right at least some of time. LSU had a month at the end of last season to game plan and figure out how to stop the vaunted Ga Tech rushing attack and did just that (something many, including posters here, didn't believe was possible). That shows the coaches know how to do something right. The question is, can they do it week in, and week out with the personnel they have to work with. Things can change from week to week and a team that looks good one week (a good game plan for that match up?) can look bad the next (perhaps not such a good game plan the next time around or perhaps the other team just had a better one).

Bottom line, given the extra time to re-group and prepare for Auburn, I think the Tigers will look at lot different on offense.
