I'll say I'm on board with a little no huddle stuff. We can still rotate our backs in and out in a no huddle while they will have a more difficult time rotating out the lard on their defensive line.
Let me preface this with in no way do I want us to get rid of Les Miles. I actually think he's the best coach in college football, and I think he's a good person. From hearing players talk about him, and talking to the parents of players, he's loved. I like that he actually cares about them, rather than just about winning. BUT if we're talking someone replacing him, there is only one person in college football I would want to do it. And mainly just because I've seen the way he recruits and adapts and that is Chip Kelly. He's slowly building a stronger defense in Oregon, likewise seems beloved by his players, and overall just seems rather awesome. Him and Les are my favorite two coaches to ever coach college football. In closing, FUCK NICK SABAN.
As funny as that is, I think he's a good recruiter besides that. If you remember we had our own little bout with Will Lyles. He's adapting to playing the SEC btw, trying to build a better defense while keeping a potent offense etc.
I'm curious as to how well Ware would be throwing the ball out of the Warecat. It is all run so far in that formation. Maybe he could surprise the hell out of us by throwing a good pass from it.
I think LSU's key to victory will be me getting a ticket. LSU vs. Bama games I attended: 97, 00, 01, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 10, 11. Should have shelled out for the NC.
Someone should start a thread counting down the games left for Russell Shepard to throw the ball. All the people who have been clambering for this over the last 4 years, times running out...
If for nothing else, just to see how truly bad he is at it so everyone can finally say, "oh, NOW I get it!"
He was a high school QB and he's thrown half back passes before, so I know he has one or two good passes in him, but as ultra-conservative and 'take no chances' approach that our offense has been in lately, I wouldn't count on it.
