re: Defenses Know what Plays LSU is calling?

Condon f*cking ask HOW they knew

Condon never ask for critical info. He only addresses issues that he believes will be controversial.

I don't need to listen to a Condon show to know about the running plays for LSU. The pattern is so predictable, plus, I imagine the "tells" on the line and rbs clue in the defense as well.

How about a toss sweep. It ain't a hard play to run. Yes, executing is not always easy, but a toss sweep, i.e. USC, should always be in LSU's running game plan, especially when the HC wants a to establish a running game.

MSU stacked the box and dared LSU to run. It wasnt hard to see what they were doing...But if they did this on nearly every play then of course they would "guess" the running plays.

Its time for the wizard to devise something to throw the defenses off.
Like play action from the running formation everyone seems to recognize.

maybe this is by design. Possibly they just wanted to get thru these first few games while playing close to the vest.

But would you have a serious problem with the coaching staff if we lost a game because we were playing it "close to the vest?"

Even high school teams keep statistics about opponents and what plays and the percentage of time they are called with specific offensive alignments, personnel and yardage situations. The local highschool has someone on the sidelines with that info. each game ready for the defensive coordinator. It's easy with game video and computers. You don't need to steal signals if a team tends to stay with its tendencies. You can bet Ga. will be ready with the same statistical breakdowns that our other SEC oppenents probably had.

Maybe Hitt is trying to throw someone else under the bus since he hasn't had a decent blocking game all year.....so blame the scheme.

You realize you just quoted Condon, right? My left nut has more sports investigative ability than that idiot. He thought LSU's baseball team was playing bad because of big screen tv's in the club house, he thought the reason we weren't playing Southern was because LSU is racist, even though 90 percent of said team is African American. The guy is a moron.

the real questions(if this is true) are how they knew and how are they going to change it?

i really don't know, but tifwiw ... i read on here that the in motion back is the big tip off just saying! but als fwiw ...

someone hit it on the head earlier where you become so packaged and tendency oriented that even a fan can pick up on tendencies. that is easily broken though. Crowton is a smart guy, he has to know he's built tendencies. Someone posted earlier about how at the high school level tendencies are charted based on formation, personnel, down and distance, field or boundary, split or tightend side. but most good high school offensive coordinators (and all college coaches) do a self scout so that they can identify their own tendencies and either eliminate them or use them to their advantage when they see someone overplaying them. I expect (hope) that crowton is building a body of tendencies so that he can exploit them this week.

Did you ever hear a moron in the stands yell, "why didn't he run the toss to the wide side of the field?" The coach was breaking a tendency (perhaps vs. a slanting front).

also, looks vs. certain fronts can dictate checks to certain plays. maybe this is playing a role in our predictability.
