He was effective. Saying it was "skewed" because of him is akin to saying that Bama's offensive numbers are "skewed" because of the passes your RBs caught out of the backfield. We had trouble with it. You attempted to capitalize. The very same thing we did with the option you couldn't keep up with.

Anybody who watched that game should have clearly seen that the only difference in the 2 teams was Jordan Jeffersons mobility. I dont know why yall are taking that as an insult, its a damn compliment. (besides FG kicking) but w/o jefferson we wouldnt have needed a kicker


No the difference is that LSU utilizes their running attack better. Ford was a bigger weapon then Jefferson, even on non-option plays Ford was running all over the Bama defense.

ok fine but i think throwing passes to the runningback out of the backfield is less of an X-factor move than running option.

They've already got two bad kickers. Why would a third one make the difference?

Yeah. We are way deeper as a team.

Our starting quarterback and running back couldn't beat y'all, so we put in our backups and they did instead.

This comment leaves me almost speechless. It would be the equivalent of saying "No Richardson, LSU wins 10-0."

Most of Bama's offense was Richardson, effectively. He accounted for more than 1/2 of the offense.

And Trent Richardson carried the ball.

Those rushes with Trent Richardson definitely skewed Bama's stats.


















Did I do it right?

ok but Jefferson made all the gamechanging plays. The scramble late in the game up the middle probably kept us from a winning FG attempt (from what thats worth).

the point being both of those are standard plays that a parts of the teams' base offenses. Skewed rushing numbers would be something like a 50 yard run by a punter...

You knew we would feed Trent. We did NOT know you would bench lee, put in a scrambler, and run option so much. The two are not the same.

Your definition of the word 'skewed' is skewed.

Said it before, I'll say it again. There are 3 phases of football: Offense, Defense, and Special Teams. LSU and Bama are as equal as 2 teams can be in offense and defense. But we were, and still are, better in special teams.

Offense doesn't win championships.
Defense doesn't win championships.
Special Teams doesn't win championships.
Complete football teams win championships.

Better luck next year, bammers.

but thats not base for LSU's offense all year. i get your point though. But at the end of the day our QB was a statue and yours was mobile that was the difference.

Didn't watch any of the games JJ played? Then the problem is with your demigod coaches ability to watch film and prepare for games, brah.

Hey, news flash, rushing yards do not have to come from "pounding it at someone"

Between Bama fans and Titan fans crying its been a great week in Houston.

You moron of course your team freaking knew, we played Jefferson in every game since he's been eligible.

But you're wrong, Saban said he knew we would run the option with Jefferson - so there goes your theory of "We didn't know it was comin'"
