I believe it was AFTER the Miss St embarrassment that O got Canada to scale back the motions. Lets keep our timelines and facts straight.

It's hard to do when they spin so much shite, hard to keep up with their own narratives/FACTS.

Fact, you clowns support a proven loser.

our team looks like shite

Offense looked as good as it did all year. Kickers missed chip shots...same as all year.

Plenty to be hopeful for in this New Year though!

-Good recruit class incoming
-Defense will be stacked
-New QB
-OL and DL should be a strength
-Play makers at WR
-New offensive philosophy?

Aranda shite the bed. His passive approach and dropping eight in coverage is a good way to "prevent" winning. You would have thought "third and chavis" was still DC!!!

It looked nothing like anything we had run all season. If Canada called the plays it was O limiting what Canada could do.

If you can't see how different this game was to the rest of the season you're fooling yourself.

If you judge by the jet sweeps only, it is worth noting we ran only 1 in the UT game too.

The announcers basically discussed Canada's offensive MO throughout the game as it unfolded and how ND was countering it.

---

That was one thing I noticed that was different from Canada all season vs the ND game: We didn't really adjust to what they were doing. Halftime adjustments most of the year have been noticeable and effective. Not so much yesterday.

The rest did look Canada-esque to me.

That's an interesting observation which could be due to footing and field speed considering both of those were bad weather games.

Hugh Freeze for OC!!! He can recruit QBs that produce on the field.knows how to beat Bama.WHY Nothire him????

Hugh Freeze doesn't understand you can't run up-tempo 100% of the time. You have to know when to go up tempo and when to slow it down, otherwise your defense is gassed in the 2nd half. Ole Miss blew plenty of leads because of this. Hugh Freeze also doesn't understand the importance of a run game or simply doesn't know how to utilize one. Sure Freeze may have beaten Alabama, but he also went 5-7 his last year at Ole Miss and it wasn't because of a lack of a passing game. In 2016, Ole Miss averaged just 25 minutes of possession a game but still scored 32 points per game. Their problem was they had no balance on offense and tried to score in 2 minutes every drive, which is great in doses but not from start to finish.

I think that was a large, not all, but large part of it.

Our (or Canada's) are a substitute for RPO, it's just pre-read. Hence are designed to be cut upfield just outside containment reading the same DE that a normal RPO would. AND be close to the LoS. Makes it have the effect of a traditional rush play (LBs and S have to react in same manner) and limits lost yardage if they do read it correctly.

So if cuts are limited, so will the success and then it works against you in the sense of "ignore the fakes".

The rest of it, ND was taking it away. They didn't disguise it. They wanted us to know they were ready for it. Hence, the fakes were less effective. Same net effect.

I thought we'd see the shovel pass more because of that. At least the fakes would not have a more pronounced effect. That's why he ran the shovel so much against Clemson while at Pitt. They opened up the middle using their LBs to cover the sweep and kept twisting/stunting their DEs. Think of the shovel pass as a jet sweep cut short to go up the middle. Except ND used varying covers between S, LB, and DE. Couldn't develop that pre-snap RPO read (i.e. they had no tendencies).

That's one adjustment I'm surprised we didn't see and is un-Canada like.

Again, I don't pull for O. I pull for LSU.

Is it really a fact?? I don't understand why you hope that LSU fails next season and in foreseeable future just because you didn't agree with the hire. Support it until it fails. You're acting like an overreacting whiny arse.
