SEC ALERT: LSU may have found an offense!

Execution, not play calling, was the difference. QBs had time to throw, Receivers ran good routes and did not drop balls. Shoot, even an option play worked once.

 

+1000

 

Agree Red. Just as Saban Fan said, we executed. As long as we can do that good things should happen.

 

The execution wasn't hitting on all 8 cylinders in the first half.

I'll give Crowton some credit for making half time adjustments.

 

+1 on execution.

So I guess we're up to 1001. Do I hear 1002? Going once...

 

Actually, it was both.

The play calling was way more aggressive in the second half. The first half was basically a prevent offense which showed zero confidence in the QBs and it was evident on the field.

Now the second half was the complete opposite. The aggressive play calling showed confidence in the QBs and it was evident on the field. They played with confidence which usually makes for good execution.

So like I said earlier, GREAT job by the coaches and players.

 

Well said. The answer appears to be ditch the conservative playcalling and stick to a more consistently aggressive playbook. The results were staggering when compared to the offensive ineptness of the previous games.

 

Chicken and egg. If you execute, you get first downs and different down and distance situations which open up the playbook. Drop a pass on 2nd and 8 then take a sack on 3rd down and you're back on defense.

 

Is it just me or does Crowton seem to break out the playbook against only the really good teams?

 

Same playbook. They just worked cause for the most part everyone (coaches and players) did their jobs.
