Little known secret / Bama secret weapon - Cade Foster is money from 60 yards in when kicking indoors. LSU is screwed!

I've always like the idea of an intentional interception in this scenario. Throw it up and let a DB grab it at the 2 yard line. DB's can't resist the ball. Just have the receivers ready to take em down.

Brilliant coaching move.

Saban knew his kicker would miss and what better way to claim you're really the better team when you lose by saying "But we missed FGs!!"
Yeah, that's what happened.

delay of game and punt.

Or if it's 4th and 2, he goes for it.

I would guess that he goes for it. His problem on 11/5 was that he was faced with 4th & 20 on a couple of those attempts. In that case, I think he punts, even if it's overtime.

Saban brings in his new Australian dude and has him drop kick it. Then has the points taken off for taunting.

Williams had a shitty jump, I'll give you that, but that doesn't mean it will happen again. The REC has him on steroids now.

Reid made a great play.

Williams is a big ol' dude from Reform, Alabama. I say we have a cage match and the loser can't play on Jan. 9.

Go for the first down. LSU's offense is no threat to drive the field so no harm in going for it.


This. Call a screen or a draw play, let AJ read the D and see if he thinks it'll work, if not then let him audible to a short route for Smelley. If we're that close we might as well go for it instead of kicking a field goal. They aren't likely to drive down the field and get a TD from there.

If Foster even tries it I'll drive down to New Orleans and kick his arse before the game ends, then I'll bitch slap Saban.

I can see the tide going for it on 4th down numberous times. If they don't make it, saban will turn to his D.

They'll make LSU prove they can move the ball.

Early on, bama plays "4 down territory" on the LSU side of the 50.

THAT would make it fun to watch.

Eggsactly.

I do think Saban will have some strategy not to get caught in 4th down in this area unless short ones. Play calling will be to get us in FG range or stalled outside it.
