No chance. Game was over before it started. The Miles era.

You don't have to care about Saban to get that... If your a fan of a competitive team it's usually only one play.. For me hypothetically I could say in the first half of the bama game the Copeland foul changed a lot..

Like revisting Custer's last stand, nobody's going to survive that. Both were dramatically outnumbered along their lines. LSU didn't have near enough 5 star athletes along their line, Bama owned them.

Are you suggesting that a pass to run ratio approaching 2:1 is not an adjustment from Miles and Co. who approaches 65-70% run predominance in most games?



Nope. LSU doesn't need to abandon the run (unless of course it becomes a come from behind type game late), but only adjust formation and scheme. It seems that Les falls back into his comfort zone with formations and style. I would like to see him continue running the ball, but spread the big fronts out with formation to give Fournette some space, and if the D is keying on Fournette, please run more QB keeps out of the spread. I would also like to see high percentage passing on first down and not just when we are behind the chains.

Crack - good points. Tweak a few things here and there and this offense can move on Bama. Just stop it with same formations and ramming head vs. brick wall!!!

If Les was here for 5 more years and didn't win a single game he'd still be considered the most successful coach in school history. What's your point?

"What a horrible fanbase."

You're such a self righteous jackass. It really has never once occured to you that fans can (gasp) actually have opinions. And worse-even QUESTIONS. Oh, the horror!

You think you're the only decent fan on this site when in fact your lack of passion shows you don't really even give a shite.

For once, instead of recycling the same boring, dated, and really as of now--no longer relevant "overall record" argument, be objective. I've never seen you talk about a specific game, other than to scold fans that do-like them voicing negative opinions is some sort of blasphemy.

It's all perfect, we're perfect, Les is perfect and any thoughts to the contrary is bamasession!

Frick you. You poison this board.

If only there was some way we could have known in advance that the gumps have a strong front seven.

Also, is there any way that we can change from a run play to a quick pass play when we line up and see 8 in the box? That would be awesome.

LF7 through the 2 gap did not work against 8 in the box 9 times in a row. It will surely work on the tenth. Let's run it again, then scratch our heads.

Agree with everything you just wrote.

Why allow a strength and penetration defense to play to their strengths? I was absolutely baffled in the second half as to why we didn't do what worked in the first half. It was weird, like the missed circle route or runs from the spread formations with BH or LF. I was pretty loaded in the second half so I'll really need to go back and re-watch it, but haven't been able to yet.

Yea but LSU doesn't rerun plays that didn't (could've) worked unless they're run plays that didn't work

I think there are several plays...to me if Harris hits LF on the dump pass up the middle, it would have changed the pace.


What is puzzling to me is that we tried that once and didn't get it, but we never tried it again. You could see that it could have been really successful if we connected and we were close on the miss.

However, we had no problem with trying to run through the teeth of Bama's D for basically no gain close to 20 times.

Harris has trouble with velocity and accuracy in the short passing game. He is decent in the intermediate/long pass game. It is not by accident that we try so few short passes. He either throws it out of reach or sends a laser that is dropped.
Practice reps in the short game would up his production in my opinion. A little touch and accuracy could become second nature to him.

Nah, Let's just run into the 8 and 9 man boxes repeatedly and enforce our will when possible. Rinse and repeat.

and if only harris had taken a dump at halftime instead of talking to the team and coaches, he may have been just relaxed enough to complete that pass early in the second half

First post and still pissed nearly a week later. Harris hitting that dump pass certainly would have given them a chance, but he also had pressure coming off that right side. O-line played poor, but Harris definitely did not handle the pressure well at all. 1st play of the 2nd half, on that pic, 7 was wide open and Harris never saw him. Hated the offensive game plan, but that kind of sh*t makes me wonder if Harris simply didn't find the open receivers, and simply kept his eyes locked on the deep man. The way Alabama's safeties were crashing down makes me wonder if our NFL experienced OC called some workable plays but Harris simply didn't locate them. Anybody know of a way to watch an endzone cut of the film?

Biggest play of the first half was the freak 55 yard field goal. We had momentum and that dude nailed it and got the crowd back into the game.

No one saw that coming and it wouldn't have happened but for the kicking it out of bounds on the kick off.

Over before it started? Love the optimism. Either you're not a Tiger fan, or you shouldn't be since you surely can't get any enjoyment out of watching a team that has no chance to win.
