could benefit LSU. Less thinking and more reacting from our defense. Any thoughts?

If Oregon is allowed any rhythm, that is not a good thing.

LSU has a dominating defense upfront. When Oregon can't run effectively, it could lead to Oregon QB throwing incomplete passes and picks. I don't see their style of play affecting LSU one bit.

They will be getting thrown around like rag dolls too much to gain any rhythm

The practices make their actual gameplay look slow. The reason they do this is not just for conditioning purposes but also help with the mental aspect of the game. Many times I've heard players say when they get to the game things slow down.My guess is its like being in the Matrix on game day.

Their offense requires your defense to read & play with great discipline. At the pace they operate at, this ability is reduced.

If you have a significant talent & size advantage, this can be negated, & beyond that, our size & talent is every bit as well conditioned as they are. They act as if they invented Strength & Conditioning, when LSU has won more 4th quarter & Overtime games in the past 10 years than perhaps any other program in America.

This direct result of our football team's ability to play SEC Football for 60 minutes is attributable to Tommy Moffitt, a 2 Time NCAA Strength & Conditoining Coach Of The Year.

But, having said that, look for some wrinkles like wholesale-and I do mean wholesale-substitutions inbetween plays & drives in order to keep players fresh.

With Jarrod Randall & Jakhari Gore running the Blur Offense at practice against the 1st team Defense, I think we've got exactly what we want in terms of familiarizing ourselves with UO's team speed.

They also act as if we're a bunch of 4.79 guys on offense, as well. They're in for a rude awakening.

Flying around and laying people out is what LSU's defense is all about. The chance of this happening at an even faster pace is priceless. Hard to get in any kind of rhythm getting knocking around at will all game long.

There's a reason you're not employed as an analyst. Less thinking and less time are not good things. You want your defense calling out plays, communicating, and substituting. My sister could've figured that out

Instead of trying to figure out what Oregon will try to run, I like the idea of knocking the hell out the person in front of you and flying to the ball. Oh wait, that how the SEC plays football. This is not high school or some shabby college team Oregon is playing. Our defense is always prepared for any style.

I don't believe substitutions are allowed by the defense UNLESS the offense substitutes or there is a time out. Point being for LSU to make a wholesale substitution, they will have to spend a time out or figure out how to stop the clock (see fake injuries).

I so badly want Oregon to come out and run the 9 minute offense. Then the players can think, "why frick did we run all those extra wind sprints?"

It will benefit LSU in that we will be better conditioned and better prepared for the rest of our schedule, win or lose.

I could also see it possibly benefiting us IF we are able to limit their first downs. With how fast they pull off plays we could potentially get the ball back on offense quicker, giving our offense more chances. But that's a big IF, and our defense would have to play lights out for the fast paced style to really "benefit" LSU.

Its more than simply being in shape. They're practices don't contain a bunch of conditioning drills. I agree your team is every bit as big, strong and conditioned as Oregon, but many of Oregons players having been working at this pace for a couple of years now and its showed during fall camp. They are practicing at faster speeds. I think this helps just as much in the mental and execution aspects of game as much as it does the physical.
