The other problem is that Alabama intimidates everyone by destroying them, unlike Les Miles teams which actually give lower teams a shot at believing they can can upset LSU and exposing their weaknesses. It's a fundamental difference in approach and one approach appears to me to be working more than the other if you look at championships and getting to the next level (as opposed to W/L records or losing to the occasional shitty opponent).
I agree with this. One thing I'll never understand is Les' reluctance to ever go for the jugular as quick as possible.
But it is what it is. I don't think any of Les' teams are intimidated by Alabama and I surely don't think Les is intimidated by Saban.

So one way of overcoming the flaws in the philosophy is to use a shut down defense (not a prevent defense) to prevent the other team from scoring and moving the ball, thus negating the need to put up a lot of points.

But we don't do this, why?
