Why do people no understand: all rushing attempts are not created equal. Tennessee is a different running team than LSU. They use various run schemes out of multiple formations. LSU lines up in the I and runs right at defenses. Yes they do utilize small amounts of zone reads and other run schemes but by and large they will attack from the I between the tackles. I just don't see this matchup favoring LSU. Bama has an extremely heavy defense that excels at plugging up inside runs. Hope I'm wrong but I don't see this ending well


This is 100% wrong. First of all LSU has a much more diversified offense than UT. UT runs out of the spread, they really do not have a lot of variance in their run schemes.

LSU on the other hand shows spread and I formation, they several different styles of run plays, even out of the I. I formation does not mean they just run between the tackles. Watch the Auburn game and see LSU pulling both guards on toss sweeps, that is an outside run with a convoy escorting Fournette to the edge. LSU shows a lot of different looks on offense, they are one of the more diverse attacks in the SEC, mixing elements from various systems...they have several good ways to attack Bama, I think you are stuck in 2014.

This may be one of the most intelligent things I've read on the rant in a long time. Have an upvote sir!
