I expect the rantards to come out in force with the comments of "score more points".

But for those with real insight, please step forward.

My keys:

1. Stack the box, make Marshall throw all day.
2. Win the turnover battle
3. Need a huge day on special teams
4. Harris throws 20+ times

If we can rush for over 200 yards, we will win the game.

The problem is, if you stack the box and you have your corners in man...once Auburn breaks through the first line of defense (and they will break through), there is no one there to stop them from going the distance.

Brandon Harris needs a repeat performance. I realize that is very unlikely...but that's what LSU will need to claim victory and not finish second.

Score more points. And keep them from scoring.

1- yes
2- yes
3- maybe not
4- maybe

Honestly think LSU singles the WR and loads up to stop the run and make Marshall beat them. I see the LSU secondary showing out if auburn is forced to pass.

I just don't think Auburn is that good where we must have a huge day on special teams. They are a good team, but to me, nothing special. Still a hard place to win. Key is stopping the run, and LSU sustaining drives eating the clock....do those two things, and avoid turnovers, LSU wins this game, perhaps easier than some expect. This is a matchup where chavis generally thrives....

Defensively, we need to get Auburn behind the chains. Got to win 1st down and keep the Aubs in 3rd and long.

Offensively, the O-line needs to clear some acreage for our RBs. Harris needs to play - A LOT.

There is only one answer to this question and it's to penetrate with the DTs. If the DTs can't/don't get penetration, it gives the read option too many cutback seams and forces the LBs/DEs to hesitate on the fake. If the DTs get push it effectively allows the pursuit to swarm to the ball instead of sit back and wait to see where it's going. This is a bad matchup defensively for the Tigers, but the offense can move the ball against Auburn if they play a more open approach and give Harris some space in the pocket.

So interior defensive line penetration against the read option is key, it also forces Marshall to make quicker decisions in the passing game. This is why LSU has matched up well against spread teams in the past. We have had good push along the defensive line and quick DEs.

I hope Chavis does some slanting with the interior Dline to improve penetration.

This could be/would be one of the biggest wins in the Miles tenure since landing in BR.

1. Play much better against the read option than we have to date. Hopefully we study the KState film and are able to execute what they did.

2. Run early from spread formation and sustain drives.

3. Execute on offense and defense.

4. Win turnover battle

I think LF needs to get 20+ carries. If he does, then it probably means we are moving the chains.

I personally think our three wide formation is our best! It is not a spread formation, yet still has three receivers and a TE to get into routes and threaten the secondary multiple ways. It spreads the defense out more, which in my opinion has allowed better running lanes for the backs to run. I also think putting our mobile quarterbacks in shotgun with a RB back there with them has allowed us to do more there, read option, QB rollout, motion slot or RB and jet sweep, and several other options. i think we can achieve very good balance with the run AND pass out of this set. I think it also allows us to get some of our best personnel on the field all at once.

I would like to see us run the majority of our plays out of this formation!
