The stroking of Auburn, their 3-1-7 defense, and it's relevance to today
Posted on 12/7/19 at 8:22 am

1. LSU had 508 yards
2. Auburn conceded the running game
3. LSU grossed 209 yards on the ground and Auburn's decision to concede the run game solidified Clyde's position as the best running back in the SEC.
People are saying Georgia is going to try to run the 3-1-7 since Auburn did it so "successfully". I don't think that's necessarily true. Georgia is a great defensive team. And if there's anything true about great defensive teams it's they're conceited and will try to beat LSU straight up initially.
The Auburn game was a weird game. Right before the bye week. Alabama after that. It was a cool, damp day with a wet field. The wet field contributed more to LSU's uncharacteristic mistakes than Auburn's 3-1-7 did.
Georgia can come out in a 3-1-7 if they want. But Auburn's defensive line is better and Clyde will run for 200 today.
Do people think LSU’s not done a little film study on the 3-1-7 now that they’ve seen it? Joe Brady and Co have plays ready to dial up if the formation comes up again in the future.

I think you are not understanding the point.
I don't think ppl think that UGA is going to change something.
Auburn rushed 4 and has some success in the red zone mainly.
UGA will attempt to rush 4 and keep things in front of them. Hoping to have success in the red zone.
UGA and Auburn have similarities in personal on defense. Solid front 7's. That's where the Auburn talk come from. It's just talk.

Who said that?

Auburn had success on defense in the red zone/short yardage because LSU inexplicably decided to ditch the spread and run tight formations into their strength.
That won’t happen again.

Georgia’s best hope is to line up in a 7-7-7 alignment and force LSU to move down the field only five yards at a time.

The difference for me that day as an Auburn fan was CEH. He had been an emerging force since mid-season and Steele's aim was to try and slow LSU's passing attack. But in the 3rd quarter CEH and some very timely play calling destroyed that effort and broke the game open.
IMO Georgia can't defend you much better. And your defense should be able to stop UGA's run game which is required for Fromm to be at his best.

The biggest problem in the Auburn game was play calling in the redzone. We did some predictable BS. I don’t chalk that up to Auburn’s defense, I chalk that up to poor game management on LSUs part. UGA would be foolish to come out in that same package. Their best bet is to load up on the line and bring the house

Clyde had a big game against Florida but at that point in the season you could just as easily say it was a fluke performance. Steele didn’t know what kind of difference maker Clyde could be.
The biggest question mark agaisnt LSU at that point of the season was how well can LSU run out of the shotgun.

If you look at the season stats one thing jumped out at me. UGA is tough against the run but they have little pass rush as indicated by sacks. They are #6 in the SEC in total sacks. If they dont put a good rush on Joe then I dont care what they scheme they run today.
Another interesting quote I heard this week is "Kirby is Nick." They run the same defense essentially. Not sure how true that is.

Exactly. Clyde started ripping off runs and carrying tacklers with him and moved the chains. The two key scrambles by Burrow were big difference makers too.
Inept high school passing game concepts are Auburn's defensive handicap as much as anything.
I think Swift got banged-up a good bit against Tech. Hell Malzahn put Whitlow in against your D after surgery. But now isn't the time to hold anything back.
I'm pulling for LSU regardless.
Been impressed by Orgeron's hires and flexibility, plus he comes off as just a truly likeable guy. But mainly it's Burrow, who's just fun to watch if you're any kind of football fan at all.

They simply look at the score and paint the narrative based on that.
One of the guys on SECN the other day was talking about how UGA will attack LSU’s D and kept making points about how if we have to use a LB to cover a TE that only leaves us with 2 LBs implying the dude thinks we run a 4-3 defense. 99% of media analysts are worthless.

The sloppy field conditions were moreof a factor in that game than what defense Auburn ran.

1) The people who say AU ran is "successfully" are looking at the score and assuming the game was a reflection of that. LSU make mistakes that was all LSU and none Auburn that led to the offense settling for FGs.
2) UGA has a good DL, but they do not have the DL to get pressure on the QB with 3 DL like Auburn.
3) In 2011, the LSU offense would have rolled out the same game plan with the goal of forcing it's will. In 2019, I can promise that the LSU offense will expect to see it and have a plan I'm place to take advantage.
