Tech cannot have any turnovers. Must be successful on 1st down, 2nd/3rd and long is a recipe for disaster. Receivers have to be able to separate from press coverage.
LSU does not turn the ball over - only 8 all of last year and none through 2 games this year. Have to put pressure on their QB.
Need to be +2 on TO’s
At least one BIG special teams play ( return, block, successful fake)
#45 needs to play the game of his life.
Try to figure out how to run enough to keep them honest
The last one will be the hardest.
“Okay, so I paid off the Raisin’ Canes guy. He is going to dump the polyethylene glycol in the tray of chicken the tiggers are eating during pregame. And we smeared Gorilla Glue in all their girdles so they can’t get them off to relieve themselves.”
Maybe we can keep it close.
I don't think the motivational speech will matter much either way. It will be interesting to see how we compete and execute. I suppose we'll prepare to counteract their tendencies and exploit their weaknesses. The rest is just football.
Have you considered those Dogs?
Honestly, I’ll just be happy if this isn’t a repeat of last year’s Mississippi State game. What a disaster that was...Originally Posted by boxerdog
Amen. ESPN commentators & broadcasters are still laughing about it. They ran the "87-yard loss" clip on GAMEDAY again last Saturday.
being a different type person I laugh and point out that Miss State had most of their team surrounding the ball all the way down and yet ONE la Tech player shoved them aside and recovered the ball --how the heck did Miss State not recover-- I point that out to folks and explain one Bulldog had the heart to beat 7-9 opponents... then I drift off to beating Ol miss and Alabama twice on the road
Because, as one MSU player later bragged to ESPN, they were intentionally kicking the ball downfield (illegal) in order to make a touchdown more likely.
Might as well go back to 1904.
I watched the first few series of their last game.
We MUST WEATHER the storm their d line will bring at the beginning of the game. If we can somehow do that we may be able to find some success. They absolutely smothered the southeastern offense early in the game
Don’t turn the ball over. If the Defense is up to the task, LSU isn’t special on offense (so far) most of their scoring last week came with short field I believe.
This plays into Special Teams. No shanking punts, we need good coverage for those that are fielded.
Stay on offense as long as possible, keep our defense as fresh as we can for the full game. I think we will have the capability to move the ball on occasion, they aren’t perfect. We have to take advantage of any chance we are given. Oh! And Most importantly: Score!
We tie their shoelaces together...
Now this sounds like a fresh approach. So much better than the boilerplate, coach-speak everyone else is babbling about. They are just repeating common sense garbage they have heard coaches speak about in interviews. But your idea, this is something fresh. Let's tie their strings in knots though, that way it will take them longer to untie them. I figure it will be the midway through the third quarter before the Tigers figure out what has happened, until then they will be thinking these Bulldogs keep knocking us on our butts. At that point they will have to untie the knot and find an adult to re-tie their shoes, as most Tiger football players have not learned to tie their own shoes yet. Once they all get their shoes tied correctly it should be the middle of the fourth quarter and we will have a comfortable lead. Now all we have to do is, "run the ball and control the clock."
I guess you have not paid close attention since Ed-O got there and began recruiting/coaching......most players now have those velcro straps on their shoes instead of laces...
