I wish Gundy understood how good our offense was. I personally think the OSU LSU game would have looked like the LSU Ark game. They have never seen a defense that resembles LSUs. Bama's is even better than that.

I don't know how he could possibly even consider throwing it 50 times....their defense would be worn out in the first quarter. Their defense sucks pretty bad when they are fresh.

The trick to playing with the LSU's and the Alabama's are to be able to win first down consistently. when you get behind the chains be ready to punt and thank the lord if you don't give up a sack interception or fumble.

The funny thing is, Gundy said himself that he would vote Bama #2 until it looked like his team had a chance to get in the game.

And it's easy to say whatever he wants now since he doesn't have to play either team.

Big 12 defenses don't play press man coverage because their defensive lines typically aren't good enough to get pressure with just 4.

That takes away most of the dink and dunk passing, now your QB has to take longer for routes to develop, take a look at how long JJ had to throw, or how much McCarron moved around. Now factor in Weeden not being mobile and see how long he survives.

Bama was able to throw the ball because they keep LSU out of the Nickel and Dime packages where they get dangerous when you're trying to throw the ball. OSU simply wouldn't be able to run enough to do that.

LSU and Bama's defenses are just brutal when you become one dimensional.

I don't know if OSU would have 50 plays total in the game to work with.
