L$U shot their wad on the first two drives

Since then they have looked like a 3 going on 4 loss team

Georgia's offense is making LSU look ridiculous.

Well, LSU's hopes of getting back in it ended with a ridiculous decision to go into the shotgun and hand the ball off on 4th & inches.

That drives me crazy. I have seen it twice today. Shotgun formation and hand the ball off 5-6 yards behind the line of scrimmage to gain a foot.

The QB sneak is becoming a lost art. I guess I understand the argument that these spread offenses aren't used to going under center but it seems like it would be prudent to practice short-yardage situations with the QB under center. It's much easier to line up nose-to-nose and push the pile a foot than to hand it off 5 yards in the backfield and hope the defense doesn't get penetration.

But what can I say? I'm not making $9mil a year to coach football.

I was surprised LSU scored 30 to be honest...

And I would bet my next annual retirement check that I can install 10 plays in the solid I offense and get a yard and most of the time more with just those 10 plays...The only thing is you actually have to coach the solid I offense.....linemen on stepping...drive blocking...pulling...trapping. Teach the QB steps...fakes etc...And the same for the backs....Today's zone blocking...backs picking a opening crap there's not a lot of coaching going on....It's a lazy mans offense as far as coaching... One back....QB in the shotgun....need a yard and hand it to a RB 6 yards deep standing still....That's the definition of stupidity.

I don't know if any offense that primarily operates out of the I can recruit at a high level in today's game. But it can certainly be used as a novelty in short yardage situations. Remember when we lined up in the I against bammer and they had no idea what to do? They were still trying to figure out where to line up and we were already in the end zone. :laugh:

Exactly!  If you're going to do that, might as well kick the FG and get 3.  :banghead:
