Last year we were certainly faster and ran more plays than previous years ... we used to snap the ball with 6 seconds or less on the clock vs last year when many times we ran plays with more than 15 seconds on the clock. I felt we lost our we are going to line up and kick your a..... mentality instead it was if you can go fast we can go faster ....
I keep hearing the OL is not this or that .. yet last years OL was better than the year before imo. If we are going to consistently run plays with 15 - 20 seconds left on the clock we will not have a dominating OL even if we bring back the OL from 11. We sub like crazy on the DL because those guys cannot go all out chasing fast paced offenses ... well what makes you think the OL can go at that pace and be as dominating ... when they are going every play ....
I thought it was RARE for us to get out physicaled in a game but last year I felt Arkansas was more physical than us plus Ohio State. OM and MSU were at least as physical as we were.
I hear we are going to be able to go as fast or faster than last year and my only thought is give me the 11 and 12 line up and smack you in the face team. If I want a fast paced team I can watch AU or Oregon .... jmo.
The team that won it all last year was the most PHYSICAL team and they were not fast paced ...but they would knock you on your butt. Last year Arkansas was not even close to us in talent but did everything but beat us ....
The 12th man for a defense has always been an offense that could go out and keep the ball for at least 4 minutes .. give me a 12 play 7 minute TD drive vs a 1 play 80 yard drive EVERY time.
I will be glad when we get our identity back as the TOUGHEST and MOST PHYSICAL team in the SEC and country ... we are not either today imo.
Last year LSU was horrible on offense ... we ran 75 plays they ran 82 ... they had the ball for almost 17 minutes longer than us ... they ran 7 more plays but had the ball for 17 more minutes ... that is crazy and imo that will get you beat.
