Did Bama copy our 2019 Offense?

Watching the way Alabama offense moves the ball up and down the field, it looks a lot like our 2019 Offense. They run a lot of the same routes, they use RPO’s the same way we did, their tempo is very similar, and their skill guys are comparable (although we probably had more quality receivers). They’re also scoring high numbers of points and racking up huge amounts of yardage, just like we did.

Bama had a senior laden team play in a year where a ton of teams didn’t have much time to really practice and prepare. They are a great offense but wouldn’t hold a candle to 2019 LSU during a normal year

Chase was catching contested passes against AJ Terrell who was drafted in the 1st round.

Ohio St is trying to cover Smith with their white LB

So no, this is kinda different.

Bama's offense is more misdirection and eye candy, but they do a great job of executing it. The biggest similarity is how they move guys around and find, then exploit mismatches.

What’s amazing is it’s basically just Harris and Smith with that mammoth OL. Metchie is a good secondary contributor but it’s 2 guys essentially

Yep, when Saban was a LSU he stated they implemented plays that worked about his defenses. Only LSU couldn’t run the same playbook from last year.

Not really that close. It’s tons of motion and slant with RPO mixed in.

Bama has had the 2019 LSU offense Since about 2013 when Kiffin got there. There Oline is so good this year and last everything they run works... Jones has minimum 5 seconds to throw. And Bama has a very good running game. Unstoppable.

LSU with the Oline coming back and Bama Oline going to the NFL will be very competitive with Bama and everyone else in 2021

Just because they were in the gun and mixing in tempo doesn't mean it's the same offense. The motions and route concepts are different then anything we did.

No


It was screen passes, deep balls to the sides and a good run game. It was not even close to what we run.

The only similarities are that they both scored a lot of points and they both sought out favorable matchups.

LSU ran a constant spread offense, sending five receivers out running various pass routes that extended the defense and created matchup problems all over the field.

Bama runs a lot of max protect, play-action passing with two or three receivers, using motion and the real threat of Najee Harris running for 10-yards a pop looming in the minds of the linebackers and safeties to keep them honest... not to mention one of the best O-lines in college history.

Both GREAT offenses. Both very different.
