You have seen more of them than anyone. I think Bama did and will do another good job at stopping your offense with the best defense in college football but how can we put points on the board. Serious responses appreciated.

Talk real bad bout they mommaandem.


ETA: dump passes. only way to move the ball from what I have seen. Not always effective though.

See: SECCG first quarter. Our receivers hands turned into Julio Jones's but we could've scored 3 touchdowns on that defense. I haven't had the heart to rewatch the game, but whatever our gameplan was seemed to "work".

With a stick, while they slept.

But on the field, with that swag, those men are unbeatable.

Why, since it wasn't a serious question? Rather, it was just your veiled excuse for posting this:

Probably Smelley vs. our LBs on those quick outs. I think we'll shore up the busted coverages on TR3.

Why not just stick to your strengths, but break tendencies. BUT I sure as hell would double move the hell out of our DB's early and often.

They have been beaten that way, but JJ-like qb's can't seem to make the throws.

Plus find Hatcher and attack that useless defender all day.

Throw the ball relentlessly against them like West Virginia did. It's not an easy plan to implement but a really good passing game will put pressure on LSU's DBs. LSU has the best DBs in the country but it's really hard for a CB to cover a good WR time and time again. However, there are very teams with the offensive line, QB and WRs to successful execute that game plan against LSU. Actually, Oklahoma State would probably be a lot more successful moving the ball and scoring points against LSU than Alabama. They just don't have the players to control LSU on offense like Alabama can.

First of all, LSU is the best defense and proved it against BCS level competition. Second, your defense was starting to bend in the fourth quarter. That's what led to an easy 20+ yard run by Ford in OT.

As for attacking LSU's Defense, what you'd need is not on your roster, on your sideline, in your booth, nor in your players' hearts.

I'm not telling since I know Nick reads all of my post. He appreciates my vast knowledge of defensive football.

Nothing outside!

Personally I would rotate WR's and run fly patterns continously hoping to wear out the DB's and get a few deep ball TD's.

Wheel route after wheel route after wheel route. For some reason, running backs have a tendency to get lost with our d........though I'm certain Chavis is on to this.....

I would attack them the way Saban did in the first matchup. Run hard between the tackles and run swinging gates hoping to catch them in man. I would take fewer shots down field, though. It's very tempting but no one has been successful this year with that.

The best defense in the country is LSU's. Their statistics are nearly as good as Bama's and they've played better teams. Plus, they have never broken. Bama's has.

The best way to attack this defense is to force LBs into pass coverage and go for that matchup. Pretty much every big play we've given up either Hatcher or Francios were involved. This is why West Virginia passed on us and Arkansas on that one drive. That's really the only weak spot of this defense. You aren't going wear down the Dline, secondary can cover one on one, LBs are actually great in run support.

1. you absolutely cannot turn the ball over. this is lsu's strength and they happen more in the second half because teams start pressing. i know it's easier said than done because lsu is great at creating them but, it has to be stressed.
2. for passing to have any success, mingo has to be neutralized. his first move is so quick, big lumbering sec lineman can't keep up with him. put the fastest lineman on him and spy with a rb
3. attack hatcher.
4. the offense absolutely has to be balanced. stop doing one thing and lsu smells blood.
5. don't do what you did in the first game. absolutely will not work a second time. don't think you can repeat what anyone else did. it won't work for long.
6. run from passing formations - delayed handoff. let the dline get upfield taking themselves out of the play (although they are disciplined).
7. passing - like others have said, drag, crossing, pick, etc.

for bama's offense to have success, bama's defense and special teams must contribute. no one has had success against lsu's defense for an entire game. not even wvu.

Didn't read the thread so siap, I would def atack our LBs with Trent and your TEs.

I think we will do the same; getting your big lumbering LBs to give chase laterally could give us an advantage. I mean, they're slow as fvck, so....
