It seems like the way to beat Saban is to give him looks he has never seen.

Saban is preparing his team with all of LSU’s tendencies and what is on film.

LSU is going to have to break tendencies and show different looks on offense and defense. Giving Saban the looks that are on film and playing into your tendencies seems like a losing formula.

Last year Saban said this at half time against Clemson:

quote:

Well, first of all, we aren’t doing a good job of getting off the field on third down on defense,” Saban said. “We’ve turned the ball over twice, aight. We had the ball on the half-yard line and had a penalty, took points off the board. We’ve executed well enough on offense, scored some points but turned the ball over and shoot ourselves in the foot. Defensively, we are going to have to play a lot better, aight, then what we are playing. They are doing some things — that other people have done to us, we haven’t practiced against that we are going to fix at halftime.”


I’m pretty sure Coach O knows this and I hope they are working on some new looks on both sides of the ball. The thing that gives me pause is the fact that Les Miles and Coach O teams did not seem to game plan for Saban in previous years. They just ran their schemes they were familiar with and let the chips fall where they may. The problem with that was it played right into Saban’s hands.

The formula is there. Dabo showed us how to game plan for Saban. I hope Coach O took note. I believe he has and I believe we will see looks in the game against that team we have never seen before on both sides of the ball.

Well Saban has to throw away his 9+ years of the same ole LSU offense tapes.

So we have that going for us

Considering all the analysts they have, you have to assume they have studied all our film. You can also assume they have game planned how to counter. So we need to throw some new stuff at them, especially in situational football.

Shouldn’t you show different looks in every important game?

When our offense was at its best we really mixed our play calling up.

Go watch some of the breakdowns VS Florida.

Their safeties and Linebackers has no idea what’s going on.

Saban has moles in the Athletic Dept which is why he always knows our plays. His team is juicing up as we speak as well.

Ok...maybe not...it just looks that way every year. For the love of all that is holy, I hope this year is different. I hope we can make quick adjustments when needed.

Knowing how Saban is always prepared and leaves no stone unturned he has analysts watching film on LSU, Saints, Penn St, and any other stop Brady was at as a player and coach.

This has been painfully obvious about Saban since he was LSU’s coach, at least. It just shows what a bunch of stupid friggers most coaches are, that Dabo gets praised for doing something that any idiot should know to do.

Dabo had better talent. Ole Miss and aTm are better, more realistic formulas for beating Saban

Last season and 2016 this is true. In 2017 Canada came up with several plays that had the bama defense confused and coverage broke down. We just didn't have a QB that could get wide open receivers the ball. I mean, Etling literally choked. Burrow will NOT CHOKE! And if SE and O allow Brady to scheme before and during the game, I'd be willing to bet he can do the same thing. But if SE panics and starts getting conservative then that will neutralize the Brady Effect during the game.

The first year Clemson beat bama in the CFP they did because Watson would drop back to pass and then tuck and run. It wasn't designed, it was improvising. But saban didn't see it coming because it wasn't part of Clemson's scheme, it was just a game time decision. I'm sure Dabo told Watson, "if you drop back and everybody is covered, don't hold the ball, just find a seam in the defense and run the ball." And last year it was finding things the bama defense had problems with. And it worked wonderfully for Clemson. Canada had the ability to deceive the bama defense and get some guys open, I think Brady has this ability as well. But will SE and O let him do his thing? IDK, I sure hoe so. And another thing, I do believe LSU has held back some plays on offense since early in the season. I believe they have some plays that will confuse saban because he hasn't seen them run those plays this season. Man, I'm getting nervous just typing about the game.

Just play 2019 LSU football. You lose when you try to do something different.

The look that he hasn't seen is getting beat at the los. That's the look that he needs to see.
