I do think you will see Harris featured more as a running compliment to Fournette today. LSU really has only sprinkled in some run plays this year for Harris, but he is really underrated as a run threat, not sure if opposing fans realize how strong of a runner Harris actually is....

[quote]Why do people no understand: all rushing attempts are not created equal. Tennessee is a different running team than LSU. They use various run schemes out of multiple formations. LSU lines up in the I and runs right at defenses. Yes they do utilize small amounts of zone reads and other run sch...

The thing is...Bama has not played a run game anywhere comparable to LSU...not even close. LSU has faced a defense at least comparable to Bama in Florida, and they ran it down Floridas throats despite 8 man fronts the whole game. Saban in his arrogance will play 2 safeties back on run defense..and t...
[quote]117 yards on 42 carries is rushing at will? ETA. I'm a retard, those are Bama's stats. UT still only ran for 132 yards[/quote] Their backs(not Dobbs) did average 5 yards a carry....
[quote] but I just think LSU can be made one dimensional if Fournette gets pinned in.[/quote] Every team can be made to be one dimensional if you shut down one of the two things they can do. That applies to any team in every game, including Alabama, if LSU pins in Henry. I've at least watched...
[quote]I realize LF is good, but Alabama is the last team in the country you want to try that against without going high tempo. Especially on the road.[/quote] Here is the thing, if Saban plays with 7 in the box, and keeps his safeties back, which is what he'll do unless it's 3rd down and blitz t...

re: Come out throwing

Posted by MattLSU on 11/6/15 at 11:12 am
They can't be shy about throwing it, so I have no problem with it, and first down will be one of the better downs for them to do it and throw when they want to off play action instead of waiting till obvious passing situations when Saban will dial up his blitzes. Play action on first down to Colin J...
[quote]60 yrs on 22 carries. Bama is built to stop lf7[/quote] Yeah, just like they were built to stop Ezekial Elliot. When Jalen Hurd makes your linebackers look slow getting to the edge, then your defense is not built to stop Fournette....
[quote]Wipe your chin. Alabama has seen at least two defensive lines this year on par with or better than lsu, 3 if you count the ones in practice everyday. We're 1-1 in those games. Our offensive line isn't vintage Bama, but the lsu defensive line isn't vintage lsu. Both are talented, neither are e...
For this game, I wouldn't be surprised to see Fournette's carries not be capped. This could be his highest number of touches he's ever had...so yeah, I think he does go over 150....
[quote]quote: Vols were able to run wide and off tackle.. Not really. One run that I can recall. [/quote] You aren't recalling very well then. I recorded two Bama games, UT and Georgia. Was just watching UT last night. UT definitely did well on the edges, in fact Hurd on more than one occasio...
I had thought about Guice being used in this game for awhile now, I do think we'll need him to help. I'd love to see Guice used as the player on the jet sweep just because outside of Fournette he has the best combination of speed/running ability on the team and it would really force Bama to think ab...

re: Honest question on bama's d gameplan

[quote]Simple reminder, Chubb ran for 150 against Bama. How'd that work out? LF will get his, Bama will force Harris to beat them. If he can make plays with his feet and hit the deep ball then it may be a long day for the Tide.[/quote] Chubb had two good runs during the game, outside of those...

[quote]Saban believes in stopping the run with 7, and will virtually never "stack" the box, i.e. have 8 in the box. We'll be in base if you are in 2-wide or less. If you go three wide or more regularly, we'll be in Nickel. I doubt we'll see a ton of Dime unless it's 3rd and forever. My guess is ...

[quote]quote: Bama will have a safety in the box. It's inevitable and needed. Perhaps but my guess is less times than not.[/quote] Bama is built to stop the run without cheating a safety up, which is a huge advantage if you can do it...so I think they actually will not put 8 in the box vs LF7 i...

[quote]I posted over 4 years ago that LSUs passing was a problem because we have the players and schemes to shut down the run. You guys didn't cross the 50 yard line in the NC game. The only difference is its four years later. LSUs offensive numbers are almost exactly the same.[/quote] I am not s...

[quote]Well Ole Miss is 1st in passing but 7th in rushing in the conference. I guess the dominant passing game didn't hurt our rushing game much...???[/quote] And how efficient has that offense been? Being ranked 1st vs 7th in yards doesnt tell you much. LSU is still second in in SEC in ypg and p...
[quote]Which of LSU's starters on Defense would start at bama?[/quote] Well they play two different systems. I would put Tolliver and White up with their corners for sure. They'd both be capable of starting. Adams is certainly that caliber. Beckwith, Godchaux. LSU recruits completely different ty...
