How many of his 410 came before we started chasing his little butt around and tackling him? He was still doing to Bama in the 4th quarter what he did at the beginning of the game. I'll admit I didn't think he'd beat Bama, but I'm glad he did. Sort of...the local media has been obnoxious, but it's the price one has to pay for Bama to lose.
And we had the garbage TD we gave up at the end with about 40 of their yards on stupid penalties. After we adjusted, we stopped him just fine. He was intercepted continuously because of the pressure we generated. Which, again, Bama was not able to do. I love to say that...
The big difference to me is that against lsu a&m gained 410 on 94 plays on bama they gained 431 yards on 81 plays, 13 plays difference for an offense like a7m is a big difference. A spread, hurry up offense is always going to gain sever yards and run several plays, it's a matter of how much you stop them in the red zone that makes the difference. Look at WV last year against lsu.....lots of yards but not much scoring.
Giving up lots of yards is never the formula for success but sometimes it happens. The bend but don't break is cool when your d sucks like the saints. When against lsu and it's athletes it becomes a sort of excuse the fanbase uses like Bama is doing now. I'm simply informing Stacey who hates a&m that they are really good and this so called gimmick offense they wrote off just beat the #1 team at their house. Something we didn't do here. Manziel and company are legit. Revisionist history doesn't change that. Plus I'm not married so i like to have old married couple arguments on the Internet. Blah blah blah. That game was down to the wire.
The 3/4 front with pressure/contain was a good solution for his scramble. It forced him to throw. I think the difference was Bama doesnt have the line/edge speed they claim nor are their DB's/Safety's as good as LSU's in coverage. Go back to some of their earlier games. There was alot of passing from teams they eventually wore out. Bama does get some cred for redzone defense once the field is collapsed. Something LSU has had a bit of trouble with this year...
She's still gonna want sex so I'll pretend to keep them every other weekend to make the visits less obvious.
