I actually expect fewer gimmick plays. Tuberville was known for sticking his nose in the OC's plan, but has apparently handed the whole shebang over to Borges. Tuberville also relied on those plays to counteract the lack of talent his early AU teams had. He now has competent offensive coaching and sufficient talent to play straight-up. Of course, a fake punt/FG would not surprise me at all.
After LSU success on defense early, especially on first down stuffing the run and short passes ... they'll get creative ... Simply, AU doesn't have the speed, the strength or the coaching to beat LSU defense ... and they won't score more than 10 points ... 4th down fakes and all the rest of Tubby's tricks ... The LSU LBs (ranked Top 10 preseason and playing well) are drooling for a chance at AU's backs That run game ain't going anywhere ... and they'll end up passing 35 times in this game just to get a few first downs ... HOW MANY PICKS ... muahahahhahahahahahahha ... IT'S HOW MANY WILL LSU RETURN FOR 6 ...
I don't know why they even bother to play the games. I mean, who could possible compete with the collection of Olympian Gods that Saban has assembled? Who could possibly presume to be able to stand on the same field as Saban and attempt to match wits? :dis: Gimme a freakin break.
