Question: Fourth down and 3 from the LSU 34 what is the Call?

[tide power fan]

Run for it maybe pass for it or punt, you pick. Middle of 3rd quarter 7 to 7 game.

 

[uafan4life]

Situation?

First quarter, end of second, fourth? Score?

 

[JIB]

Punt.

If it's the last drive of the game I think a quick pass to Smelley would work.

 

[BamasTide]

Screen pass to Trent. However, an end around by Maze might work as long as he knows passing it is out of the question.

 

[mark4tide]

If it is late in the game I would put Jones at RG, Fluker stay at RT, Flower at FB and run Trent right behind them.

 

[TideEngineer08]

Line up AJ in the shotgun, and then let him pooch punt.

 

[bamanut_aj]

pooch punt

 

[RTR91]

You see... That's where we go all crazy on 'em!

We bring out Blake Sims at QB. We bring in Lacy, Fowler and Richardson at RB and line up in the power I.... And we call a timeout because we can't get lined up straight causing us to punt the ball for a touchback.

 

[lafella]

I'm going to smelley if it's late in the game if not I'm punting it.

 

[skipster63]

I like our chances with AJ doing a drop kick.

 

[GreatDanish]

Did you not watch the first game? Obviously, field goal attempt.

 

[kyallie]

AJ to Williams....for a TD!

 

[GoBama#1]

pooch punt

Yes, that would be my call. Pooch punts rather than long field goal attempts.

 

[BamaQ]

Punt. Make 'em try and go 90+ yards on our D.

 

[RTR91]

Some have mentioned a field goal. What about doing a similar play like we ran against Arky? Didn't Cade line up next to AJ in the Shotgun on that play? I say hand it off to him and let him show what he's made of.

Yeah, it sounds ridiculous, but do you think LSU would expect that? Me either.

If you do that, you need to give them that same look but change the play. I bet they'll be sitting on the tide end coming back across the formation. I think we've about used up that route for the year.

 

[runtheoption22]

5 wide with smelley and williams as the two slots on the 3 wr side.

Of course we would use the same formation. Otherwise, it wouldn't work as well.

give the foster kid a break. as if he didn't have enough to worry about with the chokefest on nov 5th and the prospect of having to make another pressure packed kick on the 9th and now you want to give the kid the ball instead of oh say...trent richardson. and you want our much maligned kicker to grind out yards against lsu's defense on a run play.

LOL

Yea, I was basically agreeing with you but it didn't really come across like that. Sorry. I would go for it all day because the chances of a touchback on a punt are really good and would net only 14 yards of field position. I would go 4 WR and TR next to AJ in the gun. Roll AJ to the right with TR showing block, then slipping out for a screen to the left.

I think a tougher decision would be 4th and 9 from the LSU 30.
