The bubble screen was hated on here. It was vilified like the short side option and the pitch power. My my my how times have changed.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Anything but toss dive.

Do it once in a while, not all of the time.

The problem with LSU is that we seem to find one play and call it over and over again. I wouldn't mind the short-side option once in a while - anything to spread the ball out a little bit. Everything now is between the tackles. Get the ball to the sideline once in a while and try to get the edge.

Also, throw it to the TE once in a while, too.

Yep. The bubble screens were part of Crowton's offense, and don't work if A) you can't get personel on and off the field quickly, B) your QB isn't accurate, C) your opponent's DBs can make an open field tackle. The rant's call to arms back then was that Crowton/Miles were trying to be too cute, when we should be just lining up and running at teams or using play action. If you stay here long enough without getting sick of it you see people calling for the same things they were shite talking three or four years ago.

Half the people here thought the bubble was the jailbreak and the other half thought the jailbreak was the bubble.

Good times!
