We haven't seen a playcall like that since 2019. That was certainly not on my radar at all. You think you're watching a play and considering all options, but over the top on 4th and 1 with a wildcat shift, when you have a proven short yardage guy in Dilin Jones is not something I had considered.

That makes future 4th and 1 conversions easier and that is why we wanted Kiffin.

That was incredible. Haven’t seen that amount of balls in a long time from our play callers. Perfect call.

I loved Kiffins comment about that, how he almost punted, and then realized "this is why they hired me"

I was yelling at the tv when they lined up cause I thought they were going to run that same shite when everyone knows what it is. When Sam started creeping back behind center I started getting excited. That play was cool against Clemson because it was the first game and it was new, but we have to stop using it some much. Cost us points against OM.

TD was a great play off that formation though.

Every good playcaller has a twist on his bread and butter plays. You should expect to see that formation with at least two or three more variations.

play calling in '19 was insane but that play actually reminded me of that one in 2011 from Lee to obj

4th and 1 playcall

It surprised me, but I've gotten complacent after so many years of fourth-down BS from Miles and Kelly that I expected more of the same last night on that play.

There's a new boss in town -- it's a new day

2011 at West Virginia was the first thing that came to mind

They have been setting that played up all season. Every time it was called the RB ran straight up the gut. I thought for sure Kiffin would have used a variation against Ole Piss last week on the goal line where Jones was stopped for no gain and they kicked the FG to tie it up.

this.

I expect a direct snap to Jones & a pitch to Leavitt with a streaker for Sam to either run or throw.

That play will open up other 4th down calls.

Linebackers will have to react vs stuffing a run.

DCs won’t know what to do when you have a running qb that can pass and an Rb.

Is slot a decoy?
Is Rb the decoy?
Is qb run the decoy?

Keeps all 11 honest.

Pure genius.
This will give other teams pause before they decide to stack the box on us.

. Would love to see that. Also, get the big tight ends involved.

That was the Kiffin I was excited to see at LSU.

I’m ok with him taking some risks if it helps LSU get its swagger. Players love that shite, too.
