and wear out bama’s interior line? It worked those two games and lsu defense was holding up. Seems to me the staff paid no attention to the tape of the teams that beat bama and wanted those stat lines. Haven’t seen bama’s d that fresh In the fourth in years

Because running the ball doesn’t let you show everyone that you’re the smartest guy in the room.

Yep. Cocaine Kiff can’t help himself. He needs to do things to self fulfill his own prophecies.

Because LK has an ego and folds in big games. He starts making decisions like he’s playing PS5 in his parents’ basement.

LSU was actually REALLY bad at running the ball yesterday.
Only 2.3 ypc overall; even if you focus on just the RB, they only managed 3.3 ypc with Jones.

Because he couldn't. LSU just isn't good. End of discussion

Because, and I say this with all due respect to LSU fans, he is a fricking idiot who has no business holding the tiller on a program like LSU. He may be an adequate OC with a good HC to keep him in check but he is always going to be about appearances over substance…he has to be a football genius despite having no football IQ. He is James Franklin level….with the con man aura of Jimbo Fisher.

There has been a huge shift in coaching in game in general. And not for the better. Its not just Lane. Although Lane is the poster child for it.
I grew up watching Joe Gibbs. Norv Turner. On and on regarding offense.
Kentucky had, between three running backs, 27 carries for 136 yards yesterday. Why wasn't that 60 carries for 300 yards ?
This fascination with the "chunk play". You don't have to play football like that. I'd say you shouldn't. But that's what all the guys in charge do now.

Same reason a few years ago he made the dumbass statement of “get your popcorn ready “ and then commenced to having his arse whipped. EGO

Alabama was missing key defensive players in the second half of Georgia and all of the Tennessee game. They got most of those guys back for LSU minus Zabian Brown who went out early against LSU.

He needs 55MM for a running back

1. LSU isn't Georgia. 2. The D line yesterday for Bama was different from the UT game.

It's all the emphasis on analytics that many coaches use these days. I personally would argue that football is probably the least analytics-friendly sport there is because of the way the game is structured. Not every 3rd and 3 is the same in the way that, say, pretty much every 15-foot jumper is. Game situation should be the dominant factor in football decision-making. Kiffin's coaching yesterday was a masterclass in continually misreading the game situation and thus making the wrong decisions at the wrong times.

When Lane chose to go for it on 4th and 10 from their own 25 with plenty of time left was the death knell.
Very surprising move considering how the other 4th down tries went down.
Lane is crazy.

quote:the point is sticking to it over and over until the big ones pop. Georgia guy wasn’t busting 40 yarders at the start of the ball game nor Tennessee. But by the second half that’s when the dividends were paid. LSU could have done this as well. The only time you might not could is if we are scoring a ton of points, which we weren’t

Because Alabama had Terrance Green back.
Georgia was on pace to finish with fewer than 100 rushing yards before he went down to injury.
They had 48 yards at the half with him playing. He didn't take a snap in the second half and Georgia finished with 200 yards rushing.
He missed the Tennessee game completely.

Because Bama had Green and Hill back and was completely different against the run as a result.
Before those injuries Bama was top 5 nationally in advanced run defense. Without Green they were good but not elite.
Green playing moves Thompkins outside and Hill is really good at setting the edge against the run.
There’s a reason why Bama was sitting two safeties deep most of the game: they didn’t think LSU could run on them and there’s zero evidence they could.

In fairness UT got to play against some Bama defenders that aren’t very good vs their normal future NFL draftees.
