I dont care so much how many pts or not we get on the opening drive. Im just hoping for LSU to open up the O early on and NOT play conservative. Allowing a close game, then opening the O. If LSU goes down the field with the ball early on, to help the run I dont see Bama having the athletes to stay with LSU. No slight on Bama, they are a good team. Just LSU is the powerful team when clicking on all cylinders. If we are the predictable, scared to throw down the field and only run up the middle, then Bama has a great shot. I also hope to see Perrilloux used better. Not just as a runner, which everyone and their mama knows whats coming when he enters the game. Also use him in better situations and times.
Should be interesting to see what kind of O yall run. We've run a lot of different sets and rather than depending on the big play have just taken what the D has given us.
Letting the opposing team go offense first is usually a good call, especially if you have a good defense. Secondly, it gives you the ball back first in the second half, which is great if you have a lead. I think one of the other reasons is, usually most offenses sputter a bit in the first quarter, so it gives "your offense" a few more minutes to catch their breath and get their "game" heads together. Well, I know all you guys know these things...so I,m just spouting. :tigereye::tigereye::tigereye::tigereye::tigereye::tigereye:
Yea, that was a good play Alex, only problem is...you can usually only get away with it only 1 or 2 times during a season before the opposition catches on...not to mention statistically that the kicking team usually don't get the ball. (Course, thats when everyones expecting you to do it). Its almost suicide to try it against a team with a "very" good offense. I'd be willing to bet they wont try that against the Tigers...whichever flavor you like LSU or Aub
