I thought the consensus was we've had a solid game plan all season but we just lacked execution? . I don't have faith in Jennings to execute. We may win, but it will be in spite of QB play (or lack thereof) if we do IMO.

Our current passing game is way behind any of those years.

In November 2012 the entire rant was in nonstop meltdown over our inability to throw the ball against SEC teams. Here are Mett's stats in the 3 games leading up to Bama 2012:
quote:
Florida 11-25 (44%) 158 y 0 TD 1 Int 89.09 QBR
S. Car 12-25 (48%) 148 y 0 TD 1 Int 89.73 QBR
T A&M 11-29 (38%) 97 y 1 TD 0 Int 77.41 QBR


There they go again! Those freaking facts always getting in the way.

LSU averaged 30 ppg in 2010 but your point is well-taken. The offense did open things up that day and the yardage was nearly 100 more than they averaged, against a defense loaded with NFL talent. Same in '12 when only unnecessary trick plays gone wrong did the Tigers in. They dominated both lines of scrimmage in both of those games. They'll hold their on this week too, IMHO.

We need to have the back-up QB in playing for the Gumps by half-time. They need to donkey punch Sims in the mouth many, many times.

If ever there was a game where Chavis needed to dial up some all out blitzes, this would be it.

This is the game we typically see the offense opened up. It's just a little different this year because we were forced to do so against Ole Miss. Hopefully we build on what we were successful with and are closer to a balanced attack.


you call the game we played against Ole Miss "opened up"?
I want some of what you are smoking!!!!

Completely convinced we will have a solid offensive game plan on Saturday2010: In 2010 (probably Alabama's 2nd best team under Saban, IMO) LSU put up a total of 433 offensive yards, including 208 passing. In one of the most fundamentally sound offensive games (given the opponent), LSU came out and did what it had to do. I'm not going to dig up the stats because that was a painful year offensively, but 24 points and 433 yards off offense was FAR more than what we averaged. 2008: In 2008, we managed to put up 388 total yards of offense with Jarrett Lee at QB. We ran the ball extremely well, and made the passing plays when we absolutely needed it to make it a game. Obviously, the outcome completely sucked.. but a 5 loss LSU went into OT with an undefeated regular season Alabama. 2012: In 2012, LSU put up 435 yards of offense, 296 of those through the air. Not ideal to our current talent or scheme, but the point I'm trying to make will be said after this. This is not intended to be a Les hating post, or praising post. My opinion is that Les goes into almost every game knowing he has the better team, and draws up a game plan to not lose. Do enough to not lose, and allow our defense to win us the game. Since 2008, when we have played Alabama at home, our offense magically opens up and we put up numbers ABOVE our average against the best team we play. Coincidence? Maybe because it's death valley magic? I think not. The playbook has been opened up just like the last 3 LSU/Alabama home games. Jennings won't be relied on AS MUCH as Mett was in '12, but expect to see more shot gun, more throws over the middle, and a heavy dose of screen game. We are going to win this game people. Whatever happens, I'll be yelling my arse off and suffering from a migraine in the process (happened against Ole Miss).


I'm with you!
I sure hope you are right! have an upvote!

Its not the game plan its the execution by the QB...we have had open guys down field and the QB has not been very consistent in making the right decisions or the accurate throw.


Bingo!! Jennings will have to play his best game yet. If he is struggling, I hope that Miles pulls him and gives Harris a shot.
