Did LSU provide a blueprint to stopping Bama's offense?

The inconsistency in the UA passing game so far this year made this plan apparent to even the average football fan.

Kiffin's stubborn arse play calling was horrendous.

Kiffin is scheming around an inconsistent passing game.

No. Running between the tackles was not working every time.

If LSU had even a decent offense you'd have seen all too well how much we needed the pass. Auburn (spit) has a good defense, and a decent offense.

Auburn has similar talent on the d line and I am sure their coaches were taking notes. Fortunately, we have Vandy's offensive scheme used against them yesterday to copy.

You don't have a passing game near as good as vandy's.

From an L6U fans perspective...

Not really.

There are plenty of smart DCs out there in college football land. Aranda prolly being one of the best with maybe the best personnel outside of Bama. Bamas O just played Bamas D.

Most teams dont have the players to execute at the level LSU did last night on D. Thing is, it wont take that to beat Bama. If a team can execute at 75% the level of LSU D(which should be difficult) and execute 25% better than LSUs O(which shouldnt be hard considering LSUs O) then Bama can be beat. There are only a hand-full of teams in college football that meet those criteria and then you still only have one game to do it so the ball has to bounce right. This isnt baseball where you get 3 game series.

As an outside observer- not really.

No one didn't know that containing the QB, attacking the edges, and making him throw was the best plan for stopping Alabama.

The problem is that *maybe* 3 teams have personnel to even make that possible, in all of college football, on their best days.

Kiffin hates to run the ball, even when we're averaging 4.6 yds per carry like we did last night.

There are also other fairly easy routes he could have called instead of that crap behind the line and some of those low % ones 50 yds downfield.

He does this a lot. He's overrated.

They have a very good defense.

That combined with horrible field position and just horrible play calling made Alabama's offense struggle.

I'd like to think in retrospect that it was all part of Kiffin's master plan to use his horrible playcalling in this game as a decoy offensive scheme for other teams to try to use as a blueprint to "stop" Bama...

JK. He just was a horrible play caller for this game. BUT, I think that he and Saban will eliminate some of the crap that is obviously not working from the playbook, and try to stick with what Bama is good at from here on out, because last night was a wake up call. What was most frustrating last night was knowing that there were a lot of plays that COULD'VE worked and put points on the board not being put into action.

There were a number of plays where, in other games, the play would have broken for a number of yards. LSU defense just has a lot of very quick, disciplined players that were able to tackle well. There were only just a few missed tackles all night.
Kiffin could have called the EXACT same plays against a weaker team and Bama would have rolled up at 30+ points.
