re: Why didn’t lane just commit to running the ball like UT AND UGA

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

That’s what I love about Heupel, he just wants to win. You know it’s eating him up not having a great offense, but his teams strengths is run the ball and play defense. He rolls with it.

LSUs offensive line sucks. Fans thought the left guard was the problem, and Bama attacked the right tackle and proved he's a problem too

yes. But the game was played right into the strength of our defense is my point.

Maybe we meet again in the playoff. We will see how it turns out then.

LSUs guards are dogshit. They have a good center and a good LT. That’s it.

Are you talking about before or after he left the game?

To the OP, they didn't keep running the ball because it wasn't working and the short to intermediate passing game was.

First of all, it's important to remember UGA was without their #1 and #2 RB's vs Bama.

UGA had 5 rushes for 29 yards on their first drive.
2 rushes for 4 yards on their second.
4 rushes for 23 yards on their third (not including the sack)
2 rushes for 4 yards on their last drive of the half (not including the sack).

13 rushes for 60 yards. 4.6 yards per carry.

UGA was running the ball well in the first half. They gave up a couple of big yardage sacks thought that made it look like the production wasn't there to casual observers.

UGA ran the ball well the first series and then was stuffed until our DT got injured.

You can try to spin shite, but that's what actually occurred.

Except I just provided you data saying otherwise.

First drive... UGA ran well (with their 3rd string RB as #1 and #2 were injured) 5th string RB fumbled the ball (UGA recovered) just before FG.

Second dive... UGA went 3-out with 2 runs. Both by the 4th string RB.

Third drive... UGA ran well with their #3 RB again.

4th drive... UGA threw INT on first play of the drive. No rush attempts.

Last drive... UGA didn't run well.

Now in the second half, UGA's #4 RB started breaking some long runs that he wasn't able to do in his 2-3 first half carries. Perhaps that is due to Bama losing a DL player... but it's important to note that was the 4th string guy because UGA came in without Nate Frazier and Chauncey Bowens.

If Frazier was healthy, Walker wouldn't have gotten any carries against Bama.and UGA's rushing would have likely been much better than it was.

You probably hadn't realized this before... because UGA won the game and wasn't making excuses afterwards like Bama was. UGA's 3rd and 4th string RB's were the ones running all over Bama.

Just like the fact you only won due to heavy referee interference hence why a two-loss team for the first time is ranked 5th in an initial CFP poll.

That "win" you guys had didn't even count. Absolutely fraudulent

Only LSU fans say things like this

I don’t see another explanation for the 4th and 10 call.

He probably should’ve punted but the odds of winning down three scores giving the other team the ball back near midfield with 8 mins left is almost zero.

So was it overly aggressive? Sure.
They’d also moved the ball extremely outside the red zone where the zone looks were easier and Bama was without Zabien Brown which opened up the field so it’s not as insane as it seemed based on their success throwing the ball.
