re: Bama fans, are you worried about LF?

LSU is better because Etling can connect on short routes. That changes the entire offensive philosophy.

for almost a decade, shut down I-formation offenses from running the football
And now, with a new offensive coordinator, LSU is not just running the ball out of I-formations.
This is why so many LSU fans are optimistic. I'm not sure why Alabama fans are at the same time ridiculing LSU fans for being optimistic, and at the same time ignoring major changes in offensive philosophy.
In short, I see LSU as using the passing game to set up the running game now, as opposed to in the past using the running game to set up the passing game (if even).
That all said, I'm not predicting an LSU win, just trying to point out why so many LSU fans have a renewed sense of optimism.

You are running the ball out of I-formations, single back and basic shotgun stuff. Ensminger has down a nice job so far mixing it up and keeping people off balance, but lets not act like he put in the Baylor spread. Your offensive playbook is the same as it was before. Is it being used more effectively? Sure, and that's good and that will probably result in more plays for LSU. But the tweaks made by the new regime isn't going to take LSU from 110 yards rushing to 195. That's silly.

Not poo-pooing the optimism, just explaining why Alabama fans aren't necessarily "worried" about LF7. On a team full of great strengths, stopping attacks like LSU's is our greatest strength.

I know O was really looking forward to the off week to put in a few new wrinkles too to the offense. For five straight games vs Bama Saban knew what our O would do at every turn. He doesn't have that luxury this time.

All that seems like just added pressure.
He should've been more motivated to keep Les from being fired. Or was he not giving 100%
Why would seeing a teammate play great upset him? Is he not a team player? Is it all about LF?
The time off could hurt him, not being in game shape plus Bama is rested.
If he's worried about the Heisman then that's a selfish attitude.
Seems like you are projecting a lot of your wants on him, like wanting to beat Bama more than anyone else, desperately, last shot, etc. He could come back next year if he really holds all of that as a high priority in his life goals if we're saying LSixU after the game.
All of that seems more like added pressure and a lot of what the fans feel, want. Or was he just not giving it his all in previous games?
Bama is L5u's superbowl

Here's the bottom line re: the LSU offense.
LSU has a very good run offensive line. LSU has the best 1-2 running back punch in the country.
LSU has very good wide receivers. LSU has an average pass blocking offensive line. LSU has an average P5 quarterback.
If LSU wants to come out being tricky and throwing the ball around the yard, be my guest. And, while if done well it can make things harder, the idea that just throwing some slants on 1st down is going to magically throw Saban and Pruitt into a mental loop is just pure fantasy.
Alabama didn't put extra dudes in the box to stop LSU from running last year, and they won't do it this year. They are going to clamp down on short stuff and make Etling beat them deep (aka make you run play action and block our pass rushers for a full 5 seconds).
Like I've said all week, LSU can throw slants and stops on 1st down all they want. This entire game comes down to can LSU block Alabama up front and make Alabama bring up a safety. If not, no amount of tricky backwards play calling will matter.

There is this.
We have the better,
Head Coach
OC
DC
Talent.
This tells me that your team will have to play over their heads and we will have to have an off nite for L5U to win the game.
Good luck with that happening...

Sure he did. The average fan probably didn't pick up on it, but I'm sure our team and coaches did.

This is actually what has me the most worried about this game. Orgeron and Ensminger cooking up some offensive schemes that Saban and Pruitt won't be able to figure out.

We lost to LSU in 2010 because Les Miles ran an inside reverse play to a tight end.
I swear, human beings and their memories.

Serious question. How will anything really change?
I'll admit, I don't have a lot of faith it will. Normally my philosophy is that it's one game and a season ago, a lot can change. Our line isn't much better or worse than last year, and Bama front 7 is better. To be as manhandled as we were last year along with the fact that Bamas defense is playing better than ever, not a lot of confidence.

Sure he does, unless O is making radical changes then the Bama staff knows exactly what L5u will try to do on offense. It's not like there's some mystery or revolutionary that L5u could sunrise Bama with, Bama has played just about every style of offense possible. I'd say the Bama defense has improved throughout the year and has been playing really well the past few games vs UT and TAMU especially.
The area that concerns me, as a Bama fan is the L5u defense keeping our offense from the end zone and making us kick field goals like Tamu was able to do first half. It kept the score closer that it should have been based on how much Bama was dominating.

the winner of this game will probably be the defense that forces the most mistakes

Why is that silly?
The last game between the two in Tiger Stadium, LSU out-rushed Alabama 183-106.
LSU at home, with the best running back in the conference, with a decent line and a semblance of a passing threat, suggesting LSU might run for just under 200 yards isn't silly.
You know, you don't have to go full tard with the hyperbole. You could've just suggested that it would be unlikely. Hyperbole makes you look insecure.
...after all, look at all the hyperbole coming from a lot of LSU fans.
