Forget just winning 1/9

2011 LSU with JR as the QB is the GOAT no questions asked IMO.

After that I put everyone else in the maybe category.

They all played games at LSU that if they put that effort on the field would have given LSU a great shot to win, and the game didn't completely get away until early 4th quarter. On the other hand JR and maybe Ro are the only ones that I think make it a likely win.

No offense, but this is stupid. Gameplanning would be diff depending on theI qb, we still could have lost with either of those guys. Just may have been closer.

shite we could have won with any of those guys on a diff day also.

Refresh my memory, but im thinking mauk, flynn, jmarc, rp and JJ are the ones to play in a championship game, whether it was seccg or bcscg. Mauk is the only one to play in 3 and he won 3.

If the game plan doesn't change we don't win with any of those guys, we only got past the 50 once (and quickly fumbled)

The game I watched there were turnstiles installed in place of the OL.
I don't see any QB doing much without better execution around him.
There really aren't any gameplans if you consistently lose the LOS.

While there is some truth to this, it is fair to say the loss was truly a team effort by the entire offense, players of all position groups, coaches, execution, gameplan, effort, will-to-win, emotion, drive, competitive spirit - ALL OF IT was lacking.

Lost to Auburn and Florida in 06 and Bama was better than both of those so I wouldn't say he would easily win both


But that was with the 2006 personel. 2011 LSU was better at every position than 2006 except WR and prolly LB.

I think you have a very different game play with a better passing QB, plus Bama has a different defenseive game plan.

This is a very good point, however, there were a couple of plays in both games, that better passes/QB's would have made for TD's. The long pass to Shep at the end of the first half was under throw or he would have scored. The pass to OBJ for 19 yds in the NCG, Deangelo was wide open down the middle of the field. JR, Davey, Flynn, Mauck all hit that pass for a TD.

WIN--Jamarcus, flynn, Mauck, & Rohan

LOSS--randall, jefferson

MAYBE--Lee, Booty

(We should have been able to answer the Lee question definitively, but Les went down with his Titanic.)

Probably so. I think Russell and Davey are our best bets because both of them were huge and could complete passes with defenders draped all over them, which would've been a prerequisite for beating that Bama D.

Certainly either of them would've been able to hit Landry on that crossing pattern, 6.

No mention of RP yet? He was a starting QB and I think he would be a toss up. Any QB able to stand in the pocket, take a hit, and make a throw downfield could kept LSU in the game.

I'm not arguing that point, except to say this happens a couple times damn near every game played on Sundays, and to much better QBs than you had in mind.
Be careful the bleacher and the recliner doesn't make you more critical than when you played the game.

if we had the same gameplan then none of them would have won.

Maybe

Saban
Arnsparger


Dinardo - Loss
Archer - Loss
Hallman - Loss
Stovall - Loss
Cholly mac - Loss
Miles - Loss

If they could have motivated the players to win more of the individual battles needed to execute the gameplan, yes.
I've said elsewhere, LSU had taken on some pretty well thought out schemes 13 games prior and came out on top because they foiled the execution of opponents gameplans by winning those little battles.

Ask WVU or UO......ask Petrino about his vs Gumps.
There is no magic gameplan.

Saban's defense against LSU was not that complicated. He simply forced the action faster than Jordan Jefferson could make decisions. Jefferson never displayed even an average ability to read defenses at the line of scrimmage. So Alabama would give him a look that took away all quick developing plays, and then they got after him with as much pressure as possible. He simply couldn't fiigure out what to do fast enough.

I don't think that would have been a problem for several of LSU's prior QB's to burn Alabama's defense for a big play or two. The only QB's who would give me doubts would be Lee and Randall. For all their other faults Russell, Davey and Booty were able to make the reads and throw quick slants and other hot routes. I don't think Saban would have tried the same defense against Mauck or Flynn.

I believe Jefferson was right at 65%CR on these type routes, just nothing long.
Not that there was much time for development of deep routes.
I recall how well a sophisticated Hog pass O did vs the Gumps and everybody thinks it was the answer for NCG.
2 offenses had success vs UA- LSU and GSU and that was with ground based attack schemes.
