The way you beat Bama is the way no one wants to hear. You have to do what we did in 2010. Run the ball effectively, stay in 3rd and short, make the plays in the passing game on 50/50 balls. You can't beat them by trying to be something you're not.


Pretty much this. Since 2008, LSU has rushed for over 100 yards in 5 of the 10 matchups. 2 of those games were won, 2 were lost in OT, and the 5th was lost on the Yeldon screen.

Hard to win TOP with no rushing ability unless LSU's D completely dominates

Hit the nail on the head.

Drop a safety, play man, and find the lost page in the book that has a screen pass on it.

1) Load the box to stop the run and trust DB's to go one-on-one with Bama receivers.



agree

2) Etling hit short drop, short passes. Don't think line can protect him long enough for regular drop-backs and Bama will shut down Guice like they did Fournette the last couple of years.



agree BUT we shouldn't be in double TE sets we should be 4 wides and in the shotgun...PLEASE SPREAD the defense Canada

#1 We're going to have to get 3 or 4 turnovers.

#2 We're going to have to have 3-5 25+ yard plays that set us up to score or at least get us across midfield.

Otherwise, we're looking get whipped something like 31 or 35 to 7 or 10.

That's what I'm hoping for as well b/c he isn't the best passer around.

IMO... Only way to beat Bama

At least 1, probably 2 non-offensive TDs, and a defensive performance on par with last season.

O, D, & ST.

Win 2/3 and your team wins the game.

What sticks out to me is specials. If we can block a punt, return one for TD, etc and win specials, Bama has to beat us clean on both sides of the ball.

If I'm O, I'm playing starters on specials, I'm working on scramble drill for Etling at practice all week.

If we don't turn the ball over and can win time of possession, we'll be ok.

Idk if Etling and our WRs posses the skills to consistently beat their DBs


They don't. they haven't done it all year against lesser D's.....how are they expected to rise to the challenge against Bama's D?

Yeah that was literally the last person to do it and it was frickin 7 years ago. And all it took was arguably the greatest college defense ever to only give up 6 points.
