Any specific plays that you want LSU to run vs Bama?

I was thinking about some of the things we run that I think would give us success against Bama, and 3 plays came to mind.

The first is the inside RB screen. I love this play, and I feel like LSU is the only team that runs it. Granted we only run it like once a year, but it always seems like it always works. Not to mention, it will be a great way to slowdown Bama's pass rush and get some of our bigger O-linemen on their LBs. Its very hard to read this play cause the RB stays inside, unlike a traditional screen pass. Example is vs USC in 2012


Second play is a play we ran in 2014 vs Ole Miss. Play action fake with Leonard going right up the middle and catching a pass downfield. With Eddie Jackson being out, this is a way I think we can take advantage of a guy with less experience, who doesn't read the field as well. Fitzpatrick might be more prone to read the wideouts and lose LF7. We can take advantage of aggresive LBs with this one as well.

The 3rd play is not even a play we ran, but rather one that has been run on us before in the 2008 UGA game. In that game UGA ran 2 or 3 quick WR screens. The next time, they faked the screen and sent AJ Green to act as a blocker then takeoff downfield for a big gain. With Fitzpatrick moved, they will have a less experienced nickleback to take advantage of. Also, for those who watched the Bama Ole Miss game, this might be another way to get Ronnie Harrison to bite hard and try to run up and make a play, meanwhile we have Malachi running the sideline wide open.

Wait... we get to do that? Im not getting paid like an offensive coordinator... I don't coach daily at practice... I didn't realize it was my responsibility... My bad... I dropped the ball all those years with Miles. If I'd have known, Id have done a better job.

A lot of DG5 & LF7 on the field at the same time and 3 & 4 wide sets.

I want to see a fake punt or FG when nobody is expecting it.

I don't care, just as long as it isn't the same play 5 times in a row and just switching sides they run to.

Bama's strength on the defensive side this year is getting east and west on screens and end arounds.

Don't feed the beast, attack it at it's weakness. Up the mother fricking middle and in the air.

27.5 hours. It needs to be gametime!

The winning ones.

Would be cool for LSU to beat the invincible Alabama squad.

Take a page from Sean Payton and run three wide in a bunch formation close in to the tackle, stack them send them on their routes and sneak out the remaining RB.

The bunch formation is supposed to create a lot of confusion and allow for one of them to be left wide open down field with two blockers already there.

In that vein, why not set Fournette in a slot send him in motion and make him turn upfield 2-3 yards past the tackle or TE, see if we can hook up with him over the middle and get him caught on a LB which is a speed mismatch. USC used to do it with Reggie Bush all the time( and he won a Heisman, despite what the Heisman Trust says) as did the Saints.
