This is what I'm thinking - do what Clemson did to Bama about five years go.run a lot of plays. Go tempo. Tire them out in the 4th. Then go deeper.

Yep, I saw it as well. There were several slow motion replays where the right side of the line, especially one particular player literally was facing the oncoming defender, put one half hearted stiff arm out then just let the defender by. It happened A LOT. If I didn't know any better, I would have thought he was doing on purpose like he really didn't give a damn. That's how bad it looked.I re-watched the AU game, it's really pathetic at how unwilling the right side of our OL was to make contact with the oncoming DL. It was a poor effort at any level of football. And we put up with it for over a half of football. In basketball you would sit a player in minutes giving that kind of effort. I suspect this unit has been mismanaged terribly.
iirc, we had them completely stoned until their last possession of the 2nd quarter when we lost contain on watson on a long 3rd down, and then he was off to the races for the rest of the game and we went into a shell on o leaving our d to be run to deathThis is what I'm thinking - do what Clemson did to Bama about five years go.
Run 80+ plays and any defense will be sucking wind. Especially those 300+ DTs. Substitute sparingly on offense while playing fast (or at least getting to the line fast) so they cannot sub and watch the fatties slowly die.iirc, we had them completely stoned until their last possession of the 2nd quarter when we lost contain on watson on a long 3rd down, and then he was off to the races for the rest of the game and we went into a shell on o leaving our d to be run to death
I hope CNS's TideFans spy is on this! It seems like our most reasonable path to victory!Run 80+ plays and any defense will be sucking wind. Especially those 300+ DTs.

I`m not certain at all that that approach is in BOB`s thought process, much less his repertoire. I do agree that we just can`t line up and totally run the same exact playbook. Something`s going to have to be done to help the O line. IMHO mano a mano against UGA`s front seven is suicidal.Run 80+ plays and any defense will be sucking wind. Especially those 300+ DTs. Substitute sparingly on offense while ast (or at least getting to the line fast) so they cannot sub and watch the fatties slowly die.
I’d be happy for a few quick jitters and a dive for three yards. I worry this idea of throwing it away will result in a pick. By the time he decides it’s a lost cause he’s usually fifteen yards behind the line and in a dead sprint for his life. Those are not the ideal accurate football throwing conditions.Yeah, a few quick reads (both runs and quick slant passes) can really help slow down those LBs.
BY is a slight guy - he's just not a large human - so he really isn't built for taking the big shots. That said, he's very quick on quick slant passes, which we seem to run very few, but those quick-hitting pass plays are a great way to relieve pressure.
Good. Make sure its playing on repeat in the locker room.No one. And I mean no one so far is picking Bama.
He has impossible plays called over and over when it is clear that he is not being given the time to get to a third receiver. Lacking a safety valve and plays designed to back the defense off, the offensive game plan becomes "Bryce make something happen" and he does at a very high rate. This is back to the era of Daboll with Jalen not being developed and Locksley and Tua when Locksley was two thirds out the door. The problem is BOB has been BS all year when he is just passing through. As several have said on here, where is the game plan?One weakness BY has shown is the seeming inability to throw the ball away rather than take the sack. Sure, some are unavoidable, but when it becomes obvious there's nowhere left to run or no one to dump the pass to, put it in the stands.
That's how bad O'Brien and Marrone have been - they've made Gol*ing look good in comparison.I thought earlier that Golding was the issue but BOB makes him look like a defensive savant. These assistants who are just passing through do untold damage to a program.
I like the way this is setting up. First time underdogs in what 90+ games?No one. And I mean no one so far is picking Bama.
You may be on to something there.I really think a big key to the game could be Billingsley and Latu. If Lati can get back to early season form and Billingsley get back to last years form, they could be huge.
that drive was a thing of beauty. b.y. willed us down the field
