    Think the better word would be 'stubborn to a fault'

    I expect you will see more passes to the tight ends and richardson/lacy out of the backfield. It's well documented our soft spot on defense is at the linebacker position. So more passes to tight ends, delayed runs, passes to the backs in the flats and right over center, maybe even a wheel route or 2 by the backs coming out of the backfield.

    but i doubt he doesn't kick the ball to our returners.

    I know no-one wants to hear this, but if we let Trent run wild like he did in the first game, they may actually punt instead of try field goals this time, but they are going to be pooching to pen us deep so it won't matter, Defense has to get the busted coverages on Trent fixed before we worry about them punting to TM7

    I have no idea why they didn't do this in the first game. Why do you kick field goals that are out of your kicker's range on you own field?

    He was hitting them in pre-game.

    Their punter isn't that talented to directional punt.

    Good luck with that.

    We may see some 21 yard punts by Alabama.

    he didnt run wild. He did hurt us catching passes. Hope we account for that. First downs will once again be precious in this game and he is the best weapon they have. I agree that Saban will be more aware of his kicking situation and its glaring limitations.

    TM7 has balls of steel grabbing the kick on one hop and making a play or playing steal the bacon when teams are trying to down the ball, I never seen anything like this guy at LSU in my life! TM feels like he can make a play on every snap and that's what we need. He seems to have put this team on his back when it comes to getting something started. I was fired up reading what Billy Cannon was saying about # 7! From one Heisman to another hopeful it was good stuff. Not sure if Cannon still has a vote but we know how he feels! Saban please kick it anywhere near the Badger and then kick yourself in the ass when he bust one loose!
