THAT didn't last long.

I heard that this was the offensive system that gets RESULTS.

Looks like Tommy Tuberville is trying to make it to the end of the year himself.

Looks like the Franklin experiment at Auburn ended today. Interesting in the light of our offensive struggles thus far the past season and a half.

I'm not sure who called the offensive plays at Auburn, but I do know they made our playcalling look good.

I kid you not. I sort of did enjoy his press conferences, though...

Line up Livas at QB and split Jackson and Compton behind him.

not a Porter Supporter?

[dawgcrazy]

Throw Porter back there, too. The quadruple option!

Even I wouldn't know where the ball is if that were to happen.

Oh my goodness...can't believe I left out Porter...I have wanted him to start since before the Hawaii game last year.

Yes, Porter and Compton split in the backfield behind Livas.

Compton needs more PT ASAP. PJ is a GREAT guy but isn't getting it done for one reason or another. Compton deserves a shot when Porter is getting a rest.

Put Livas in motion or let him come out of the backfield occasionally to create favorable match-ups.

Not sure Tony would be an answer. I know he did well at troy but his offense was a train wreck at auburn (He might have also had the best QB in the state of Alabama last year). 3-2 against Miss st. Only running play they had was a read play out of the shotgun with a QB that could not run. really the only game where you thought the O might be turning the corner was against LSU. I don't think we have the QB for the running aspect of Tony's offense to be effective.

from everything i've read, randy hardin would fit in that offense just nicely.

True Prof. I forgot about Randy. I do think the offense has potential but against SEC defenses it looked more like the high school offense that he sells. A LOT of East/West plays especially in the running game.

Why not line Livas up in the back field and use him like the Saints use Reggie? I know that TB has to make the throw, but I think using this type of play would open him up and give him some running room. I believe if he gets going he is going to make things happen. If the defense gets overprotective on him, then use him as a decoy and go the other way. Being creative when nothing else seems to be working is something that I think DD needs to be open to.

Livas has the potential to change the outcome of the game everytime he touches the ball, regardless if it at the line of scrimmage or 30 yards down field.
