Run Trent up the middle, not around the edges. That simple. You can't run around LSU, they're too fast. But you saw what happened when he hit the LOS with a full head of steam. It took their whole team to bring him down. I'm befuddled we only ran three plays up the middle, two of them resulting in 10+ gains.

Trent had a couple of BIG outside gains. But most of the yardage, as you say, was inside.

Did Bama win the toss in the first game?

If Bama wins the toss we go AT them! Just like Ga cept Bama needs to catch the passes

Score touchdowns instead of field goals. Sneak Adam Griffith into the game, just in case.

The gameplan was fine overall. The team left 20+ points on the field. What game did yall watch? LSU is not some offensive juggernaut IMO. They are an extremely opportunistic team who uses their defense and special teams very effectively to win games. They should have been beaten that night. Execute correctly for 60 minutes and the Tide will ROLL!

Personally I don't think so. They couldn't handle Trent when he had a full head of steam. Instead we insisted on running him sideline to sideline so that the LSU defenders had the momentum. Those LBs and DL aren't going to much space to get going if we run Trent up the middle. Those LBs will just have to creep up and wait for TR. Not good for them.

And we leave a bunch of points on the field every game. Every team does. We have AJ miss wide open receivers, receivers drop sure touchdowns, missed field goals etc. As often as we were passing, they were gonna get an interception, and it resulted in a field goal that tied the game. Then we tried to pass instead of running the ball knowing that a passing play is the only play that could put us out of field goal range, but we passed and it took us out of field goal range and we lost the game. As our D demonstrated we didn't need a TD, just a field goal, and trust our D.

And the Maze throw was a horrible play call regardless of the outcome. Trent just busted off a huge, momentum-swinging, embarrassing (to LSU) run to get us into their territory. He's the leader of this team. All he wants is a national championship. He's vicious, he's like a shark he's smellin blood, feelin that killer instinct come on. And then you let Maze, who's only throw one other pass that was terribly underthrown but the guy was wide open, throw a pass against the best secondary in the nation, who happen to be notorious for not getting fooled on any crazy unlikely passes. Of course LSU stays at home (or at least recovers well enough), Maze underthrows it, LSU does what they do best, and Trent's killer instinct slowly burns out as he watches his prey swim away.

I'm telling you Trent was feeling it. I could see it in his body language. Dude was about to take over that game.

Yes, we get to open one, specially selected, that night.

Stop their option attack and only attempt makeable field goals. If we do that I would think we would win by double digits.

Almost forgot we will need better punt/kickoff coverage. I know our punt coverage is good, but honeybadger has been playing good ball.

Well, bring that I am not so much a turn the other cheek guy as much as I am a do unto others as you will have them do unto you. I say sky punt to how ever you spell his name, then hit him in a fashion that would make what that arkansas kid did to the vandy punt returner look mild. Then tweet, "oh a shout out to my boy honey badger, sorry, you my boy and all, but thats just a technique we practice on special teams" in. other words we just knocked your butt out.

Re: IF THE REMATCH IS ON! What will be BAMA'S game plan for the NC game?

We're going to have to mix things up offensively. And I don't mean trick plays...I mean pass on early downs...run on 3rd and short...and then mix it up again...do the obvious on 1st and 2nd (run the ball) and pass on 3rd. Anything that will keep this LSU defense second-guessing themselves is key.

Now is the time for near-perfection: proper tackling, QB pressure, execution of plays, pass protection, run blocking, etc.

You want the ultimate prize? Play like champions.

Score more TD's!

Run Trent 40 times I think would be effective....it has all year.

Re: IF THE REMATCH IS ON! What will be BAMA'S game plan for the NC game?

LSU will increase their option offense. You can count on that. That to this point is the D's only weakness.

Re: IF THE REMATCH IS ON! What will be BAMA'S game plan for the NC game?

One thing I think maybe overlooked, wasn't Steen out of the game because of a concussion? B. Jones was also hurt in the second qtr. I think with those two healthy and 100% the outcome maybe different....

This is truly amazing. 1st time ever two teams from the same conference will play for the Title.

ROLL TIDE ROLL! :BigA:

Re: IF THE REMATCH IS ON! What will be BAMA'S game plan for the NC game?

The gameplan includes making field 1/2 our field goals and catching balls on the one-yard line. Also, defending the option would be nice.

And no blocks in the back on INT returns down to the 2 yard line!!!

Alot of Trent and Eddy and play action. Stop the option and execute.

Score more than six points (unless, of course, we can hold LSU to three)

LSU will increase their option offense. You can count on that. That to this point is the D's only weakness.

and we have a month to prepare for jordan jefferson. i like our odds with that.

 

[GMacFan]

The key will be not letting LSU score on special teams/defense or get good field position (from special teams or defense). Our defense will give up maybe one big play and let them get into field goal range. We can't take too many risks in the passing game.

i think we'll see the crusty bob and the pig in a poke at some point during the game.
