re: How to stop tua and the bama offense

I guess you never saw the national championship last year, a loud stadium with Georgia fans, 2nd half comeback, pressure on overtime, tua had no problem, Alabama had no problem

That’s fine 5 yards at a time will be good for me.

Dude there is nothing like Death Valley when this fanbase is on fire about being doubted or what ever the case may be. It is legendary in these types of games.

He will absolutely feel this crowd and it will be 100k people going nuts. It will be sustained and in sink. It's one of the most maxim experiences you'll ever witness when the crowd sustains that passion and it's coming.

This might be one of those buzz saw types of games where bama just can't win. If these players come out prepared, play smart and in unison, we can beat bama. This QB is tough, knows how to compete, is smart and knows his players. This is a complete team if they can put it altogether. The GA game would have been a major blow out if we had put it altogether.

I think Steve E and D Aranda have saved a little something for Bama and I think O will let it hang. What does he have to loss here? Let it hang out. Let these players play and let them play a smart game. Have them keep their composure and play together as a team with some juice when they need it.

Our WRs/DBs/TEs/LBs/DL/OL have to play physical but controlled physical play. Not this out of control stuff. If they play like that they will let these teams play. The OL needs to get into the pads of bama like bama OL does and hold the frick out of them. The DL needs to slap and move together as a DL to create traps for Tua. Either if he runs or moves up to pass. Play half and half defense then change it up. If they motion a guy let the DB who's motioning play man then let the rest play zone to confuse Tua. Just cover the field and move with his eyes. I'm looking forward to this game.

A&M scored 23 .
We will score 33 .
Joe will have an elite game .
Georgia is every bit as
good as Bama and look
what happened.
Tigers play great when
given no chance to win .

Still need 4tds to win this game. Lsu will not shutdown bama!

Georgia had a busted assignment
on that final TD pass .
Everybody seems to forget that .

That wasn't a busted assignment. The corner got burned and the safety tried to cheat by following Tua's eyes and couldn't get over in time.

All this focus on Tua. The game is won in the trenches. Look at all those great QBs LSU has played over the years. You win the games when you win the trenches. Look how Florida beat Peyton Manning. Win the line of scrimmage, win the game.

Dude, I've been to Tiger Stadium the last ten times Bama has played there and I was at the National Championship game. The noise was deafening in in the MB Dome and just as loud as it has ever been that I've heard in Tiger Stadium.

Tua will no cave to pressure. You'll see on Saturday.

You talking about when it was 50% Bama fans and he took a huge sack on 1st down then hit a wide open wide receiver on a busted coverage?

2. Make tua sustain drives - make tua check down. He has grown accustomed to short drives with a huge vertical passing game. If you make him check down long enough he is going to get fustrated and force the ball and make bad throws. He is a gun slinger.

I disagree with this. Gotta force him to throw the ball into coverage. Don't allow him to sustain drives and check down. Make their receivers beat press coverage with a single high safety patrolling the middle of the field and zone blitz under it. He shouldn't know where the pressure is coming from and it could result in hurried throws, sacks, altered passes, and even easier coverage should he roll to one side on a gimpy knee. IF he beats your defense for a big score, you gotta respond and sustain a scoring drive on offense. Slow down the LSU offense and force them to run sideline to sideline with hitches and passes to your back out the backfield on "extended handoffs." Occasional RPOs and occasional deep shot off roll outs off play action. Pressure their big, bad LBs to make plays sideline to sideline, and if they bring the safety up for support, throw deep.
