    LSU used both punt formations.

    After the third down play I was upset and sayign that was way too conservative a drive at that point in the game. Then came the fake punt.

    Had to eat my words right away. Then everyone was talking about how effective those three blockers were on the fake. For the first time we saw a truly great capability those three blockers can give a team.

    I was thinking the same thing when I saw it.

    I think it might be safe to say we have the fastest punter in the sec.

    When we used the old punt formation CJ kicked it out of the endzone. Then I saw them get back to the old formation and was getting very angry until I saw the 3 blockers. Go Tigers!!!

    why not make it 100%. Better yet why not ever make it to 3rd down. Why don't we just have 1 play 80 yard drives ever series.

    Some people are never pleased. SEC road victories are almost always ugly. The win itself is impressive

    The irony is that I thought the new formation would actually make it harder to run a fake. In the traditional formation, you have an up back you can snap the ball to. In this one, it pretty much have to snap it to the punter. Also, you can't pass out of this one, since the interior linemen have already started moving downfield. That takes away two options, leaving the one Jackson used yesterday as the only possible fake.

    As I stated before, ASU was trying to fake it when we blew it up, forcing the punter to try to kick it too late and getting it snuffed out for a TD return. This was the first time I have seen a successful fake from the new formation. Well Done.

    ASU wasn't trying a fake, they were doing the little run to the side and pooch punt that so many teams are trying now but at no time did the punter look like he was going to run or pass the ball.

    well if it were possible sure that would be ideal. LOL

    not all SEC road games are ugly. some are very nice, some are won convincingly. I love that almost you throw in there. so which is it?

    some people aren't ever pleased. however, you have me pegged wrong, I am very pleased with the Tigers. We're still in the hunt if the piggies can lose.

    since you ask why so much let me ask you this, why are your little panties in a wad over an internet forum where someone posts something different than you? thats the real question. :hihi:

    good day.
