Say what you want, but it's going to be a challenge to run...

on Bama's defense.

I'm glad they lost to OM but their dline looks really good. Any thoughts?

I can agree with this but it will be a 2-way street.

And I'll take Bugg over Henry any day.

It will be but I think Les and Co will pass a little more there kind of like in years passed where the game plan shifts for that game.

Then again Auburn's strength on D was supposed to be their run d just like State.

I think we play a bunch of other teams before them.

We were able to run it on them the last few years. Running qb's give them fits. We still have time to work on passing game

LSU has been unstoppable running out of the I -- that's with 8 in the box.

that D is designed to stop a power running team.

their secondary still sucks, Harris will keep them honest, and we will work in a few end around and read options.

Note: that game will likely be low scoring, Bama looks to have some of the same QB problems we have had the last few years.

I don't think we need a QB the rest of the season. Just give it to buga and Guice. My god what we saw yesterday was something this generation hasn't ever seen from a running back. Absolute Beast Mode. The best running back to play this game in probably the last 15-20 years.

They basically play 7 defensive tackles. They are slow to get to the outside. Ole Miss just didn't have the running backs to get there.

LSU will be fine. I would expect them to work on the passing game in some of these non-conference games (like they did in yesterday's blowout.) Harris is a little late on some of his throws - that will improve over time.

Also, the biggest frustration to me is their inability to run screen plays to the backs... if they can add this to the arsenal that would make a powerful attack even more powerful. Maybe Drew Brees can drive up to BR and show Harris and Co. how to run a screen.

Just constructive criticism ... hats off to Les and staff for a really great gameplan yesterday, he outcoached the "geniuses," Malzahn and Muschamp

It's a challenge to run on any defense like Bamas, Ole Miss, etc.
Why do you think they provide more of a challenge than any other West opponent ?
With the improvement in our read option, which will get better IMHO, and BH getting more comfortable and in rhythm I anticipate defenses having to change schemes to stop our running game. TIFWIW.......

BAMA put up over 200 yards on the ground against Ole Miss. I agree though, we'll be fine.

Yes, someone mentioned Ole Miss' Dline. That Robert is the quickest DT God ever created. Nobody can block that guy...

OM is not built to stop a power running game. They are fast and good tacklers. We should give them fits.

they key is the variety of runs that we're executing...power, zone read, the rant's favorite short-side option, jet sweeps, counter pitch, etc. It's not just banging into an 8 man front.

I thinkwe'll still get ours because our line is absolutely mauling people right now. That said, if we have the same game plan weve employed so far this year, it's gonna be another 9-6 game.
