Memo to Miles: RUN THE FREAKIN' BALL!!!!!!

what if we go 3 & out 3 times and are down 17-0 in the first quarter?

I agree, no more pick 6's on the first play of the game. Although, a play action pass coming out of the I-formation after we have picked up a few first downs would be nice...

I agree with your offensive gameplan. I hope we do well on the defensive side of the ball.

then we have to make adjustments, but until (or if) that happens

RUN THE FREAKIN BALL!

i AGREE, but we must make them respect our ground game first, run up and down the field for 100 yards, and then all of a sudden the play action pass with Byrd and Toliver down the sidelines becomes a very dangerous play.

yes please run the ball. bama in only allowing 62 yards a game. so please run the ball!!!

You have not seen the 3 headed monster that is Scott, Ridley and Keiland.

Scott is a man and is going to truck your DB's and Safety's.

From today's Advocate:
Top-ranked Alabama, and rightly so, touts how its defense has cut down opposing rushers. Bama is second in the nation in rushing defense (65.6 yards per game), has allowed one rushing TD and no back to reach 100 yards. In the team’s notes is a breakdown of every running back Bama has stopped. Clemson’s James Davis and C.J. Spiller? 20 yards, combined. Tulane’s Andre Anderson? 32 (91 yards below his average). Georgia’s Knowshon Moreno? 34 (76 yards below his average). Arkansas’ Michael Smith? 91 (32 yards below his average).


I'm not saying the team can't run against 'Bama, but ... well, they're gonna have to figure out how to succeed where other teams have failed. I suppose you could argue that we have a better o-line to run behind than do Clemson, UGA and Arky. That's possible. But I also think about the Florida game, where we got no traction from our running game at all. It'll be interesting to see what happens, it'll be hard to stay in the game with less than 150 yards rushing.

i think lsu will be able to run on bama. Just like georgia had this vaunted run defense and scott and company ate them alive. It seems in most games i watched including tulane, we run the ball down the other teams throat score, then lee is put in to play and starts slinging it around and the offense goes stagnant.

I agree that running is the strength of the offense in its current state. However, against any quality defense, if you don't keep the linebackers and defensive backs honest with the legitimate threat of a pass, even if it's a short, relatively safe route, your running game will get shut down.
