The way we need to play is not how we play.

[Bulldog Bruce]

I would love if the game we played was to shorten the game as much as possible. Long sustained drives that take up 8 minutes with TDs at the end. I am not sure if we can play like that or Lebby would even think to play that way. The defense just doesn't need to be on the field for long periods of time.

 

[wrapit]

No, we do not play that way; we are quick score and explosive offensive.
However, I did see some of that against SC as we were milking clock in 4th Q. Basically letting play clock tick down to <5 before snapping the ball.

He did that last year against good teams. He’s done it occasionally this year too situationally, but not much. It’ll be interesting to see if he thinks we have talent to hang and goes for it vs slows it some today. I expect him to start fast, but he also mentioned establishing run in an interview.

Yeah, he did it on one of the Missouri drives too in the second half. He very intentionally did it a couple games last year

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

He does, but the offense kinda dies when we do it.

 

[Ranchdawg]

I hope we keep doing what we've been doing.

 

[Bulldawg77]

Stick to clubsport

 

[Dawgzilla2]

Thats the crux of the problem people have with Lebby's system. It is very hard on the defense and the OL. They don't just get tired, they are prone to injuries.

But here we go. After the next 4 games maybe we'll know who is right.

 

[OG Goat Holder]

I disagree, think we need a track meet

 

[BulldogBlitz]

I dont think the defense will have to play long stretches of high play count drives.*

 

[Howiefeltersnstch]

It will be predicated on the score obviously. Attempted quick strike if we are playing catch up or close. If we have a 3 touchdown lead we will try to bleed clock. C'mon man

 

[Seinfeld]

Hard to disagree, but at the same time, our run heavy grind it out offenses of years past didn’t exactly get the job done against Bama very often either.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I say put the pedal to the 17n metal, and let’s put those clowns on the mat early

 

[DoomSlayer]

If we try to suddenly change the way we play then we will lose. We have to be who we are.

 

[Baddog11]

Play fast and free with nothing to lose!

 

[Muttley]

We need to do what got us here and make bama defend it. Make them change their game to beat us, not the other way around.

 

[She Mate Me]

Through 1 quarter it doesn’t matter if the D is rested, because they’re just outclassed.

I hope something changes soon.

That's why you didn't want them on the field. Need to make it so they only have to make one stop.

Of course it doesn't matter if you spot them 14.

 

[ReverseCowbell]

I think we need to see their punter 4 times today. that’s once…

He did it in the 2nd half against Minnesota.

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

He did it in the 2nd half against Minnesota.

And we only scored 10 points. We have to still score 21 points when slowing it down. We don't play well when we slow it down. Yet.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

They are making us look juvenile.

 

[Bulldog Bruce]

I've been saying for 2 weeks K1 has been injured where he can't run. He had to be able to run in this game.

 

[lanceharbor7]

One dimensional QB and no RB and MSU is up Schitt Creek.

It’s actually exactly how we play— we always fold to Alabama in big games— what tf do you even mean….lol clown

Well obviously you're not smart enough to understand. Moron.

Nah, we don't have the line play to sit on the ball and win. We'll win bombing the crap out of it. Hard to do anything with all the injuries we've got.
