I don't like that shotgun on a 4th and 1 against Bama. Just go old school where JD5 pretends to whisper something to the RB then drives up under the butt of his center with a tap count. Dude is 6'5", he's falling forward with a silent count like Tom Brady has been doing for 20 years.

More rub/pick/switch route combinations. Bama likes to play man and LSU has beaten them on these plays in the past, namely 2019.

Hard disagree.


First off: Shotgun runs are more effective in short yardage situations than runs from under center. The defense is spread out and has to worry about more than just stuffing the line and pushing the OL backwards.


And second: That effect is multiplied when you have a QB who is a rushing threat. It is DAMN hard to defend against a rushing QB in shotgun in a short yardage situation. Even if they guess right and don't get fooled by the misdirection, they STILL have to stop us from getting a single yard. When you go under center you eliminate their need to worry about anything but pushing our OL backward. Spread them out and make them guard every option and it becomes MUCH harder to stuff. All year we've been excellent in short yardage situations for exactly this reason.

What Jayden Daniels are *you* talking about? lol because the Jayden Daniels who plays QB for LSU is like 6'1".
