Was the ultra conservative play calling we saw from Bama on Nov 5th really all that different from their normal offense, or was this just who Bama really is?


Saban's offense is a run/pass balanced offense. Go back and check the stats. We get as many yards from passing as we do rushing. Saban will throw in a few trick plays as needed. Bama has a goal to get a certain number of explosive plays.

But I got to say LSU was much more conservative than we were. Not to rag because I think it was the perfect offense for Nov 5. You may need to open it up a little more this time.

LSU will be slightly more agressive on both offense and defense as they normally are when not playing on the road, but they do not open up the offense much unless the other team proves it can consistently move the ball and score.

Alabama didn't come close to proving that on 11/5, if they do this time then LSU will take more shots.

I really don't consider a nearly lateral pass to TR in the flats as "passing yards", although I know they technically show up as that.
