Why didn’t LSU run more tight formations especially after the Toss Dive?

Alabama schemed all week against the RPO’s, and spread offense. You’d think after the toss dive TD we’d see the BAMA defenders did not know how to defend tight formation looks. We should have ran 7 down linemen, and run the rock/play actioned more with the benefit of having more blocking to provide better protection for Leavitt.

We've come full circle.

The complete opposite of the days when the likes of Brandon Harris would tell you to (and I quote) “spread it out and throw”

I get the outlook. However losing Weston Davis in the third was huge. Expecting his backup to provide ample max protection should have been seen as a huge liability that undoubtedly would show its face. To which it did. Running a tight formation would have drastically reduced that liability.

I’ve been saying the same thing. That’s when the offense really started struggling. Oline was always the weakness coming into this year and it’s played out as such. Lane wasn’t going to be able to fix everything in year one.

It worked b/c we moved our LT to that side and brought Green in motion to that side in addition to the lead block from 44
Definitely caught them off guard
Our offense is gimmicks and nuance. We don’t trust our line to get even 1 yard. Our 1 yard success has been very minimal and actually used trickery
We have shown all year in our play calling that we have no faith in our ability to line up man for man. And with good reason. We have 2 OL that are reliable out of 5 positions
A QB with awareness downfield when out of the pocket could possibly work around it well enough to compete with this defense, but he struggles with reads or accuracy even when he has a clean pocket
He is athletic and don’t get me wrong, b/c I want no part of previous statues we’ve had back there, but as mobile as he is, he just doesn’t seem to have the internal clock or instincts to know where a ball can pass without running into a defender before his target
