    ...if you don't mind.

    Would you rather see the offense put in a position where they have to score early, the game ends up with passing attack accounting for most of the yardage—a UGA type of game.

    Or, a game that mirrors the approach taken against Florida?

    "Which one of these approaches has the greater chance of winning" is more what I'm curious about knowing some would rather see a smash-mouth football game regardless (hard-fought contest.)

    I think we need to have more of the UGA output and pacing.

    We are unlikely to keep you from scoring like we did with Florida, so we will need to outscore you.

    I'd rather run it down your throat than get all pass happy.

    I think you have to spread the Bama defense out and exploit their weakness in the secondary. This is not saying abandon the running game. I think spreading the defense will also help the running game. Mett in the pistol formation and some shotgun could give him some extra time as well. So more like the Georgia game, however, spreading the defense out instead of bunching everything between the tackles.

    Because you are a fan of that type of game?

    I would like to see Hill have a hundred + yards and someone other than OBJ and Landry to make some plays down field. LSU needs to work in another pass option.

    I think Bama is going to play a deep safety unless they can't stop the run. Mett, don't make the same mistake 3 more times.

    LSU has run a balanced attack all season long. That will not change. LSU can go with a passing attack if it needs to score quickly or it can go with a power running game if it needs to eat clock and preserve a lead. I think our young defense is going to give up points to Bama, so I suspect that Les sees the need to score early and often.

    The only way that LSU wins is by engaging into a shootout. If Les tries to win with a running attack and defense, LSU will lose by 3 TD's.

    A shootout is the only way LSU has a chance. I just hope that Leslie can see that.

    Definitely, but I think if you control the line of scrimmage and don't give the ball away your chances of winning are far greater than if you throw for a bunch of yards.

    Score early and often. Defense gets some key stops. LSU prevailing in a shootout.
