    10 in the box is a huge gamble if you send them. It's not a huge gamble if you play a team that line up in a 2 tight I and you don't blitz. If LSU breaks 80 yard runs in a 2 tight I against a 10 man front, that means everyone was blocked perfectly and Fournette or Williams or insert tailback here broke multiple tackles. It's possible, it's just not likely.

    You only have to break one if the blocking is there. Fournette broke several tackles Saturday.

    It's not. We have weapons at receiver, we should use them. John Diarse is one of the biggest, most physical receivers in the SEC, Travin Dural is one of the fastest, Quinn could be the Edleman/Welker, Dupree is a star in the making. And now we have a qb that isn't afraid to throw to the tight ends. This offense could be special. Come on Les, Let Er Rip!!!

    A huge mistake for the dude from Auburn to open his mouth. I hope we ram it down Auburn's throats every which way.

    I will say this about the Bama game last year, the game plan was perfect. LSU should have won that game. The passing game just stunk. And that's my fear, that the passing game will not have seen enough in game action prior. By the time we play Alabama the passing attack should be a well oiled machine. But if all we do is run the ball, there won't be enough in game cohesion for our qb and receivers to be on the same page. Again LSU threw 26 balls in the Alabama game. Only completed 8, not all on Jennings, but had LSU started slinging it a little bit more than before November, maybe the outcome is different.
