I can't imagine a worse match up than G Tech's offense versus our defense.

It is a nightmare scenario.

Our defense gets confused and blows assignments against standard, run of the mill offenses.

This G Tech offense is crazy.

I feel sorry for the camera men working the G Tech games trying to figure out where the ball is going.

Yeah, but you can predict 80% of the time which play they will call.

Could not possibly disagree more. They don't throw. This is the best matchup we could have ever gotten.

Poor tackling is what worries me besides the fact that our defense looks confused against normal offenses.

When the action looks like it is going inside then the pitch goes outside, you are going to have maybe one clean shot at the guy to avoid a large gain and if he slips it that it is bad news.

The Georgia D looked clueless as to where the ball was gonna go.

That plays to our weaknesses.

What gives you such confidence?

Did you not see Julio Jones drag our defensive backs about five yards when he caught the ball.

Do you remember Snead dragging Coleman ten yards for a score.

Stopping the run was definitely our strength this year. However, it may only have been the strength because of our horrific pass defense.

But, if we truly can stop the run, we might do ok. The work will be happening behind the line of scrimmage and we may do well.

Do we use the EXPRESS package for this? I really don't know, as it is the pass-rushing package.

Let me add...those were our D-backs, not our line. They have to get thru the D-line to get to the d-backs.

So you are of the opinion that GT is going to line up and run between the tackles all game?

Have you seen G Tech's offense?

It is like some crazy shite from the 50s.

I watched the G-tech game one and a half times. It is crazy stuff. So it will take 11 guys to stop em...it won't be just the line.

I hope we can do that.

G Tech ran a play where they did their triple option crap to the left and sucked Georgia in only to turn and throw it across the field to an eligible tackle all the way across the field. His big arse was all alone and went 20 yards before someone caught him.

We don't have a prayer against crap like that.

I watched some video of them on Youtube.com and it looks more confusing than it probably is...The defense has plenty of time to study and prepare for their assignments. (I know I know this years defense appears to need more than just time to stop anybody but I think this game will be different)

We must keep a close eye on J. Nesbitt(QB), J. Dwyer(RB), and J. Shaw(RB) on every play and know that Shaw is also a threat to throw the ball. Each play is pretty much designed to fake to one person and go to the other. If we use extra bodies to always go after these three guys and just let the others beat us on their own then I think we can slow them down enough to win.

You should be a defensive coordinator.

The idea of keeping an eye on the running backs and the QB in a triple option offense is revolutionary.

I was trying to point out their biggest threats.

Good, so that means you won't watch the game, right?

Jaybo Shaw is our backup qb. I think you mean Roddy Jones (214 yards off 13 carries against the mutts).....and he isn't a threat to throw. We used 1 trick play this year where someone other than the qb threw the ball....it was a reverse pass from Bebe Thomas(our only real threat at WR). Shaw won't see the field unless Nesbitt gets hurt.

If I am LSU....I worry about 3/4 guys..Dwyer is the first option in the TO, so he is number 1. Numbers 2 and 3 are the weakside (motion) A-back and QB. Nesbitt has had a tenancy to pitch more and keep less later in the year..but that is probably due to more defenses wanting to force him to pitch the ball because its one of the most likely ways to force a turnover. Roddy Jones is the A-back who is used the most as a running threat, while Lucas Cox is at the other A-back and will usually be the lead blocker on plays that feature him as the strong side. Jones, Dwyer and Bebe are all serious homerun threats....a healthy Nesbitt is best when dropping back or rolling out and then taking off when dbs drop off into coverage. JN will keep on the TO, but his biggest and most clutch gains have been when he follows the b-back up the A gap and uses the B-back as a lead blocker.

Based on some of the posts in this thread, maybe LSU shouldn't even show up for the game. I mean, according to some of you, we are fricked. Somebody call Miles, tell him that we are fricked, and to keep the team home for New Years.

That's right. You need to give up now. Just go ahead and have Les mail it in and we'll just have a nice little scrimmage in the Chicken Bowl. After all, our starting backfield is averaging the following:

B-back (FB) Jonathan Dwyer - 7.0 ypc
A-back (WB) Roddy Jones - 9.1 ypc
A-back (WB) Lucas Cox - 8.2 ypc
QB Josh Nesbitt - 4.0 ypc

Resistance is futile.
