Doesnt seem that much different from LSU. Run heavy, short passes, a couple deep shots downfield every game.

Yet miles sucks and we all suck sabans cock.

saban does have his issues on offense, namely calling off the dogs with a lead that lets teams get back in

but they showed on 1/9/12 and other days that they'll construct an offense that isn't typical and be aggressive and creative

I agree about 1/9/2012

But that didnt seem to carry over into this year.

Saban went back to conservative.

Alabama's offense looks like calculus compared to LSU's arithmetic.

They also have a qb who can make plays downfield when you stack 10 in the box.....

Ours sailed an 8 yard flat route to win game on 2nd and 2.

At least they audible occasionally and actually look off targets and go through progressions.

Also, best believe that if Yeldon has 124 yards rushing through 3 quarters and doesn't touch the ball in the 4th, Gump nation calls Nick out on it.

Please stop trying to compare Saban with Mile$. There's no comparison to be made.

One will end up being regarded as one of the greatest college coaches of all time.

The other will be remembered for eating grass.

Yes, you are right.

The difference is that Saban doesn't call a fake FG to the line of scrimmage on 4th and 12 and kick 93-yard FGs with a kicker who has been struggling all year.

He also tends to run the ball once, twice or maybe three times when needing to run the clock out.

Les generally has the right system in place to win. I agree with it. It's the mind boggling calls here and there that totally mess up that system.

Watch Bama. They spread the formation and run from the shotgun more than out of the I formation. LSU doesn't even try to spread the defense.

Are you kidding? You haven't watched bama's passing offense. They actually do things other than run two guys out on simple routes

Yep. That's Coach Miles.

He has done better at LSU than Saban ever did. PERIOD.

You're either high or you're related to Le$. Either way, your posts are funny.

Please continue.

Saban had a NC at LSU and two SEC titles in five years after taking over a losing program

Miles has a NC and two SEC titles in eight years after taking over a winning program.

So I don't know about the "PERIOD."

It took the LSU staff until the Ala. game to start utilizing the TE's & RB's in the passing game and it helped the WR's and running game.In the Ala game we had the TE's and RB's account for 41% of the passing game.That is why Ala is good year end and out because just when you stack the box they hit you with the TE or RB in the passing game.LSU's OC can't seem to make the calls and as a result we have an inconsistent and predictable offense or lack thereof.The OC doesn't use the weapons he has available to him in the offensive scheme.Stud incapable of making adjustments during game.

What do you think the AD and fans would do to Saban if he promoted his bubba OL coach OC? No, wait, Saban wouldn't be that big of a DUMBASS!

Yep, their passing offense is light years ahead of LSU's. Not even close.
