How many touchdowns has Alabama scored on LSU in the past three games on drives that were not pass heavy? The NC was won by spreading the field and passing.
In the NC game, LSU planned to stuff the run and dare AJ to pass. Last Sat, they decided to focus on shutting AJ down. We were gashing LSU for about 7yds a carry. What was causing the 3&outs in the second was incomplete passes on 1st down. When we ran on 1st down, we were much more successful.
I felt that we were trying to run the same gameplan this year as we did in the NC game. Because the gameplan said pass on first down, we passed on first down, despite all indications that we were having more success running on 1st down. There were a lot of factors that caused our offensive ineptitude in the 2nd half. The type of offense was not one of them.
If you play 2min offense all game, you have a Big12 offense and you lose games 78-65.
