re: Let’s call Pelini and the ‘07 season what it was...

So their all american running back had 6 pass attempts and you don’t find that to be unusual, innovative, creative? He never had more than 1 all year. Arkansas used the wildcat as a wrinkle all year. For LSU it was their game plan Like i said, they had the backs, their line was bigger and they came in with a one of a kind gameplan. LSU’s line got whipped. Their LBs gave up plays overpursuing and then got flat footed as the game went on. It had nothing to do with game plan or scheme on pelini’s part

He was 3/6 for 34 yards. That was a wrinkle, but hardly an innovative offensive scheme. On the other hand they rushed for 385 yards on 53 carries. They ran the ball more than twice as much as they threw it. That’s what won the game, not the wildcat.

On top of that, the wildcat had been around for 10 years+. It was as innovative as the forward pass.

I don’t know why people hate this take. LSU’s defense was very inconsistent that year and rarely shut teams down. Opponents averaged 20 points per game and that was with a balanced offense that controlled the clock most games. The two losses were squarely on the defense.

Why people look back on that 07 team and think that it was the best defense ever is beyond me.

Some people go their whole lives not exposing themselves as idiots. You just gave up that opportunity

Pellini and Jimbo won us a NC, After that Miles began his first of many disastrous coord hires. Remember the very next year of MalVeto? Lasted all of one year. What have those guys accomplished since? Their horrible use of LSU talent caused the clusterfrick of Miles' chokehold on the offense for years to come.

Because he tried to force Freshman Lee to play like Russell and Flynn, in order to keep up with the pts allowed by MalVeto. After that year, Miles was forever GUNSHY. Forever!

Not sure about OP, but I don’t give a shite how we win a NC as long as we do. I got just as much enjoyment out of the 07 championship as this 2019 one. Every championship team needs luck on their side, every single one

Yes, Crowton was. He did well his first year THEN every single year after that, his production went down, just as it does everywhere else when other teams have time to figure out his offenses.

This is funny.

I remember you guys screaming about Pelini when Bama would play in the SECCG. Y'all would bitch like hell about not having those defenses you were seeing on tv anymore.
