re: Which tempo approach do you prefer vs Alabama?

We haven’t done warp speed a lot. Getting to the LOS and having the coaches read the defense and keeping the play or checking into another play has been what we run most of the time.

If we upped tempo even with Miles we could’ve beaten that team.

That’s BS. With Miles offense it would have just been faster 3 and outs.

Seems like a game to go way up tempo. Some games you have to worry about the other team trying to keep the ball away from you like Florida did. IMO, if Bama is playing on offense to keep the ball from us, we are in a good spot. They score just as fast as we can so long drives shouldn't be an issue for the defense. Looking for a shootout where one or two stops makes the difference.

ETA looking at the downvotes guess you morons couldn’t figure out the last 8 Bama games

Guess I'm a moron too b/c I immediately thought you meant the 8 games we've played this 8-0 season.

Warp speed this bitch. Score as many points as quickly as possible. Make them fricking stop us

It will all depend on the success of the Defense. If the D can get off the field and stop 3rd down conversions then I think there will be a good bit of tempo.

Maybe the first drive they give it a shot and see how Bama handles it. Play normal pace on 1st and 2nd down on the first drive, then tempo on 3rd down and subsequent 1st down if converted.

They will test the waters with it and if successful they will need to wait and see how the defense handles the 1st couple of Bama drives.

I believe Saban will try and slow this game down and try to keep the LSU D on the field for long drives. Saban knows that LSU will score on his D and he will need to keep them off the field.

semi-warp

i sure as hell wouldnt be attempting to play ball control. i would feel much more confident in a shoot out than i would a low scoring affair

May have thought you meant LSU's last eight games?

You’re not going to wear down their defense
That was les’s forte. It didn’t work.
Have to pass the bal downfield

The reality is, Bama gave up way more points on quick drives than they did long sustained time management drives. If the key to the game is to outscore them, go warp speed. Do whatever the game dictates, obviously. If Bama can't move the ball, control the clock. I would much rather be in a shootout where we score at will then a grind out "next possession wins" type game.
