First offensive play for LSU??

You're Crowton. What do you call for the first play???

For me? I would actually START RP for the first play of the game and get the defense to play the run because of it. I put him in the shotgun ("pistol") formation and I let Byrd run a "fly" route and have RP chuck the ball as far as he can and see if Byrd can run under it.

I do that because in one swoop, a completed long pass on the first play will get Ohio State thinking: "Crap! Not AGAIN?!!"

An incompletion doesn't hurt, but if Byrd (or whomever) got behind the defense, we'd still have the same desired effect on them.

 

that would be a nice mix up, but i bet we end up with a Hester run to the right side of the line.

 

The last thing I want to see is for us to get "stuffed" on our first play. I realize that you didn't specifiy how many yards Hester would get....but I don't want to see the OSU defense getting all fired up on the first play. I want to knock the air from their sails early.

 

HB iso to the left. Crowton loves to run that first

 

agreed i don't want to see a stuff either. A nice big run would be a bit of a stinger to the run defense of OSU. That is what i am hoping for.

 

Hester off right tackle for 44 yards - just like in the OU game.

 

Dash Right - 93 Berlin

But then again I'm a little more aggressive than most.

 

thank you, jack hunt.



I just hope the final play is victory formation.
