With the emergence of hilliard lately and the need to be able to run on bama, i think lonergan is out biggest asset returning. Adams will be a big help too, but i still think lonergan will have a bigger impact overall on the game

Any other injuries, from either side, that may have major effect on the game?

Blue wasn't hurt last game but he didn't play. In this game I think he will explode.

This may be true and if so, great. But I honestly think Hilliard will be the difference maker. (Obviously Kenny not hurt as well)

a fully healthy Ware would be nice. let him and Kenny pound on Bama, then let the other 2 break off long runs.

Who were the players hurt for last game? I think our team having fresh legs against anybody is bad news for them. Especially with the emergence of Hilliard.

I don't ascribe to the notion that running backs significantly contribute on "punishing carries" for two yards. That's a prescription for three and out against Ala.
We cannot give away possessions agaisnt a top team, even if one expects a very low scoring game and we have a great punter (which I do and we do, respectively).
There is also opportunity cost in leaving in a QB who is cold. We did that against a weaker Georgia team. Inb saying this, I acknowledge that the back up QB must not contribute to turnovers.
That's the trade off.

I disagree with you here you don't break away from what you do. Let JJ be a game manager and maybe he can pick up some 1st with his legs but focus the offensive gameplan with our rb's. We can not afford to give bama good field position with turnovers. LSU needs to keep its identity and not try to be something on offense they aren't

As far as running backs, I thought it was pretty obvious bama's defense couldnt keep up with Ford.

I think more than players, we need a game plan that uses our speed. Bamas backers are slow (big & strong), but slow. I like the zone read and speed option. We need the backers to hold a bit in the middle and then sprint to the outside. Our recievers are excellent blockers and we need to break some big runs both inside and out. Keep Bama guessing. If we are successful there, then play action will be the icing on the cake. JJ needs to make sure he hits RR when he gets behind the safety. Both teams will score. 27 - 17 Tigers.

I thought PJ played the entire game against Bama, save for a play or two.
