re: Impact of Kevin Steele Vs Alabama

It actually is a solid pro-style offense. To say that the Tide are not imaginative is just wrong. But they will lean more on the run when they have a QB like Coker who will shite the bed if you don't regulate him.

IMO Steele's impact is in favor of AL unless he gets the DB organized before we play them. There were about twice as many WR open in the WKY game than there were the entire 2014 season.

Steele will have the same advantages Chavis will have...they really know strengths and weaknesses of personnel...The bye weeks will be used to internally game plan against tendencies and add wrinkles to formation commonly shown on game film..

won't even come back to defend himself

So maybe? Idk, there's so much film these days, I'd say there's not too much there. Kiffin/Saban also know Steele's tendencies as well. There'll be no shortage of preparation and the game will likely be called based on what the opposing side is showing. Just my take.

I think the average high school coordinator has knowledge of LSU's offense.......

The ESPN guy, I think it was Marcus Spears, said that BHarris is really maturing in the QB position and is now marrying the passing game and the running game which is an extremely important factor in offensive production.

His explanation of the term "marrying the offense and defense" was that BH threw 7 play action passes in the WKU game and completed 4 for 152 yards. My interpretation of his comments were that the two elements (running and passing) of the offense are now feeding off each other, creating synergy which makes the offense much greater than the two elements can reach operating separately. If that scenario exists in the 'Bama game, LSU has the possibility of competing favorably with the Tide.

You are probably a great deal smarter than I am and probably know more than MSpears, but what he said made sense and gave me a new comfort level.

"Knowledge of" and being able to stop an offense are two separate issues.

My assessment of the discussion was that the coaches are developing BH in a productive manner. Zero interceptions and many more positive decisions than negative decisions.

I never thought our offense would be this productive. Four RBs with positive yardage, two freshman FBs positively contributing, three different WRs with TD catches, TE involvement, and an OL that is successful in both run and pass protection . I am too elated to be critical.
