Well, according to the staff there were a lot of run/pass checks, and they ended up being runs...

I just wish that Skler would have had the end around/reverse check on so he could have scored it, then...

(Disclaimer: I'm fully aware there's probably no such check. This was a joke. Please save all pithy comments for another thread or post)

It's a good thing you added the disclaimer. I was getting ready to bloviate.

Bloviate, or mentally flatulate, like usual?

;-)

You dost realize that I'm only joking, right?

Ralph Wiggum. I am not a cynic whose only going to point out problems. This much I'm aware of.

Ron Zook's offensive coordinator was Ed Zaunbrecher. He beat LSU's defense last year when they were the best in the NATION. He did it with a true freshman at quarterback and no rushing attack to speak of.

Zaunbrecher was demoted this year, and the "perimeter passing coordinator" who was the understudy to Ed was given the reigns. The new OC was a "Zook insider" much like a "DiNardo Insider" like a Charlie Coiner or Joe Cullen or Bob McConnell.

He did not call plays nor develop game day strategy. This fits with the "DiNardo-itis" that some say Zook was afflicted with in wanting assistant coaches who knew either as much or less than he did. Now that's not what got Zook fired (Being ate up with a serious case of the dumbass did, along with him being genetically unlucky enough to not be born named Steve Spurrier).

I will say this...I've been seriously impressed with Zaunbrecher's gameplan that he put together to literally pick apart LSU's defense last year. The breaking the huddle and getting to the line with :15 seconds or more, to let Zaunbrecher himself read the defense from the booth, and then quickly signaling in the play and the read, in order to take the pressure off of the 18 year old Leak. The no huddle offense to take away LSU's bread and butter substitution based on down and distance to specialize its playmaking ability. To pick apart the middle of the field when NO ONE ELSE DID ALL YEAR.

You tell me what defense was better in College Football last year?

You tell me who was the only Offensive Coordintor who beat it?

You have my answer.

TE, you must really be upset if you are calling for the return of "up the middle Ed". While I agree with your description of his game against us last year, comparing it to the game he called against USC in the 87 Gator Bowl, I remember some real turkeys he called while OC at LSU. How about that thriller he called for Mickey Guidry in the 87 AMAB game? "Up the middle, up the middle, sack, punt!"

Maybe he would be better overall than Jimbo, but I don't think you can base that on one game, no matter who it was against.

Very Respectfully,
GEAUX TIGERS

If you two consenting adults are going to get kinky you need to take it to a sex forum.

I don't really like to hold one's geographic proximity or location to others over their head...But this is the man from Breaux Bridge we're talking about here...The town that has to have TWO Crawfish Festivals...right?

LOL!

One for Republicans and one for Democrats :wink:

By the way, that "other" festival went by the wayside last year so there is only one Crawfish festival. Get your facts straight.

Saban wanted the OL to gut it out.

IMO, Saban had been a little dissatisfied with the performance of the OL in recent games and the resulting lackluster rushing statistics. I believe he felt that if they couldn't run on Vandy that he was going to have to make some drastic changes for the end of season run. Either through personnel changes or Jimbo's game planning. He was committed to running the ball last Saturday and that's all. I am still very confident in Coach Fisher's abilities. We are in a regrouping year no doubt.
