Yeah, yeah, we are not losing...but how would you attack us?

Against our D I would clone Bama gameplan and attack young LB and CB with three wide and dink and dunk us to depth. Quick passes cancel out d-line and force LSU to cover.

Other side of the ball would stack the box and force lsu to beat the other team over the top. Passing will be better, but make LSU prove it.

You have to have a smart quarterback and be fast to do this though. It worked for Bama, but other SEC teams tried it against LSU and got murdered because the play developed too slowly or was sniffed out before it happened.

I would just let LSU beat me; I don't wanna be the reason we don't win it all

Offensively, I line up in I formations on early downs, double team the three technique and nose tackle, and hammer it inside with the full back leading on the ISO, as well as some counters, traps, and G leads. I'd neutralize the pass rush with some quick screens and keeping either a TE in to block or throw from a 2 back set, with my best back checking outside pressure to flare out for quick dump passes. My WR's would run option routes on the outside(slant, fade, comeback) and take what the cb gives them. Slot WR's would use motions to get linebackers/nickles out of position on crossing routes. I would use the shite out of mesh routes as well as motioning from a 2x2 to 3x1 formations and running switch routes and wheel routes against the young secondary.

Defensively, iM bouncing everything outside by telling my inside lineman to fall when double teamed and to cram the blockers back on any base blocking of zone blocking. Linebackers are to force everything east/west and my safeties will have to make tackles and corners will have to crack replace. My boundary corner is gonna press 85% of the time, I'm gonna attempt to bracket the slot WR on obvious passing downs, and my field corner will basically be on an island the entire game because quite frankly, LSU receivers don't scare me. I'm gonna throw a lot of different looks and pressures at Zach to try to confuse him. Secondary and linebackers are gonna have to read their keys and not fall for the play action.

3x1 Check with me all night long.

3 defenders on our 3, run. Read DE to trips side and run counters or darts.
3 defenders on our 3 with an overhang away, speed option and pitch off rover.

2 on our 3 throw bubble to inside receiver.

Easiest way to
A) Neutralize their speed
B) Run our "best case scenarios" against whatever they run

I may or may not be a coach though

I would run the west coast offense relying on short dumpoffs. Get your WRs in space and get rid of the ball quick so as to avoid the pass rush.

What I would do is stay in the huddle as long as possible and then sprint into formation right before the snap. This would allow me to keep the clock moving (as long as I'm making completions) and keep the defense from getting a good look at my formation prior to the snap.

On defense, I would load the box to stop the run and hope to god that my corners can play man on LSU's wideouts with safety's over the top deep. Force LSU to pass and try to keep pressure on Mett. No QB performs well on his back.

I would use the Lawrence Taylor strategy and send lots of hookers to the team to try to tire them out before the game.

If I was the opposing team.. I'd hope it went something like this..
Get your team ranked number 2 in the country.. and then play number 1 LSU at home.. hype it up as the game of the century.. "let" LSU win after they'd laid everything out on the field.. and then a few weeks later have everyone be like "mehhhh.. do it again.."

I would send a bunch of bimbos with a stomach flu virus to hang out with the players in the week leading up to the game.

I thought Bama had a good approach: give yourself two chances to win one game.
