I'm hopped up on cold medicine, but I've pretty much reached the point of no return. I think Auburn pulls the upset.
If you were gameplanning for the LSU Tigers as Auburn's coordinators, what would your strategy be?

Score more points than LSU by putting an oblong ball made of pigskin in the endzone.

I was going to go with finding them before the game and giving them the Tonya Harding special but yours works as well.

Save that for UGA, since we play dirty and all.

Seriously, I still think Auburn matches up better with LSU than they did with Clemson or Arkansas.
IF...and of course, it is a big IF...Jeff Whitaker and company can plug the gaps and keep their running backs in check, they will have a fighting chance in this game.
Also, the offense cannot turn the ball over in this game if they want to have any chance whatsoever to win.

Son, I'm only gonna tell you this once.
Stay off the drugs.

I like this strategy...but do you think we'll really have to punt any Saturday? Well, maybe once.

UF was impeded all 4 times they couldn't catch the damn ball. Impeded by lack of coaching.

I am calling the win, but I have no idea why I feel that way. Maybe its the improved defense and the fact that I don't think LSU's offense is that great or maybe its my hopeful optimism that Clint Moseley will channel Aaron Rodgers incarnate or perhaps it is the glue I have been sniffing. Either way I think the Tigers win.

I feel better about it now than I did 3-4 weeks ago.

I think you've hit on something here. Does anybody know somebody on the staff? We need to get them a message that if we can score more than LSU we might -- and I stress might -- have a chance to win.
On the serious note? Scoring is an issue. Through four weeks we were cruising along in the high 30s per game. Moving the ball, putting points on the board. And then the wheels fell off.
16. 14. 17.
No excuse for putting just 17 on a Florida team that gave up 23 to UT, 38 to UA and 41 to LSU and was ready to quit.
Even as improved as the defense is, it will take a minimum of 24 points to beat LSU IMO. Considering that we only scored 24 at home with Cam last season....... suffice it to say my confidence level is not as high as Townhall's.
Bama? I feel better about. They've yet to play anybody who forced Pussy McTattoo to beat them. By the time we get there, I think we can put "My Momma Got Three Houses" Richardson in a box. We will have a chance.
-
Mmmmm. That peanut butter is goood!

Pussy McTattoo
That made my day. Thanks.
Do they have a cheerleader named Bertha McSweatycrotch, too?

I think our scoring issues may be solved. The majority of the offense stalling was a result of Trotter playing scared. I didn't see that in Clint and he's our starter this week.

This is exactly where I am.
Add that this is playing in Baton Rouge and we get Alabama at home and I say our chances go up with beating Alabama and down with LSU. In addition. Clint Moseley will have a couple of games under his belt at QB.
The reason for the decline was Trotter got gradually worse for some reason. Actually, that is not true. I just think the first couple of game were luck of the draw. We played weak defenses so he had a chance to look like shit and still score points because our athletes were better.
Also, Blake not being on the field has hurt too. Benton needs to sit with Trotter. He drops too many easy to catch passes...

There is ZERO room for error this week though.

Not sure if you are just kidding, but Chizik named Moseley the starter in his presser...

What will it take to win?
1. The defense has to continue to improve and keep Auburn in the game. Possible? Could be. 2 of the last 3 games have been solid efforts from a tackling/covering and scheme standpoint.
2. Whoever starts at QB cannot have the playbook dumbed down. If Mosely starts, run whatever you would normally run. Despite what I said a week or two ago, do the same for Frazier. If you don't mix it up and keep LSU somewhat off balance, we will lose by 40.
3. Get Lutz involved in the game right from the start. Teams have nothing to fear from him anymore because we only throw to him 1-2 times a game at best. A guy with his size and skillz should have 6-8 catches a game minimum.
4. If Blake is back to full speed, get him the damn ball. He makes plays.
-
To follow up, Lutz has 11 catches on the season for 108 yards and 3 TD's. Anyone think this guy could be used a little...a LOT more?

I think we may be Jewish and afraid to give a German that much control.
-
I'm thinking the gameplan will be similar to South Carolina.
Load the box. (Why should I think three mini-Lattimores are better than one true Lattimore?)
Make Jarrett Lee throw. (I still don't believe he's that much improved. Jefferson was going to be the starter for a reason.)
Run the hell out of the ball. (This will be frustrating if it doesn't work, but I like Dyer's tenacity. I think LSU's front seven is their weak point. Name a starting LSU linebacker. I bet you can't.)
Give Clint a few safe throws and pray the receivers make a few extra yards.
Stretch the field once or twice early.
We match up well with LSU. They may be better than us. They may be more talented than us.
But we have a chance. And this season's been too damn boring for this not to happen if it even has a chance to happen.
-
If I'm Gus, I play the entire 1st half in a 5 wide set and throw 30+ times; then, I settle back down into the normal offense for the 2nd half. Probably why I am not making $1M a year to coarch.
-
Not sure if you are just kidding, but Chizik named Moseley the starter in his presser...
I was, indeed, making a joke.

-
I think any threat to throw the ball, which Mosley now gives us, does upset the LSU defensive plan just a bit. I'm hoping they continue to think we can't, stack the box, and that Gus and Clint can make them pay early. IF, and I say IF we could get a 10-14 point lead...HUGE IF...we might stand a decent chance of holding on to it if we make them have to throw the ball.

Emory Blake is really the key player in this game if we're going to have a chance. I think LSU can play man to man on our receivers and put 8-9 in the box each play. Their DBs are incredible.
Really this comes down to our determination and desire. Do we have the balls to go into Tiger Stadium and punch them straight in the mouth? Do we have the gall to go into Tiger Stadium and bitchslap the November 5th hype? Do we have the confidence to look Jarrett Lee in the face and say, "I know who you truly are."
A lot's stacked against us. I don't know why, but I'm really feeling the good vibes with this.

Why "no way"?
LSU's offense mustered out a big 10 points against Oregon in the 1st half. It was Oregon fumbles that did them in. By no means do I think that Oregon would have won that game, but let's not act like Oregon played the perfect game.
Against Miss St, LSU managed to get three field goals until hitting a nice pass in the fourth quarter. Again in this one, their offense spuddered especially in the first half.
Against West Virginia, LSU converted two of four turnovers into touchdowns in the 1st half. After being up 27-7, WVU went on a rampage and their quarterback threw for 463 yards. If it wasn't for that kickoff return for a touchdown, who knows how that game may have ended up?
After Tennessee started strong in the running game against LSU (111 yards...-29 total in their previous two games), they turned the ball over twice which both led to LSU touchdowns.
I'm not trying to take anything away from LSU. They're a very good team that makes their own destiny.
But what are we strong in?
We haven't lost a fumble once this year. Not one. The only team in the entire country to not have that problem.
Our punter is stout.
We can key on the run game and make them throw.
We have a decent run game when it gets going.
I'm not buying the "no way." It'll be very tough. We'll need to play a perfect game, but I think we match up well against LSU who has mostly capitalized on the other team's mistakes.
-
You got to have faith, playa.
I am smoking large doses of reality, brother.
Plus, since we cannot win it all this year, I would much rather see the crystal (1) stay in the SEC and (2) head to Baton Rouge as opposed to Turdville. I will take one for the team in the form of a loss in BR if that in any way helps keep bammer from winning jack shit.

From CBS Sports:
Posted by Jerry Hinnen
AUBURN WILL WIN IF: they catch the kind of game-turning cavalcade of breaks that Les Miles's team is the one usually known for receiving ... and creating. With the visiting Tigers' offense firmly in milk-clock-don't-turn-it-over-play-field-position mode thanks to its first-time starter at quarterback, the chances are awfully, awfully slim that Auburn is going to go into Death Valley and beat LSU straight-up. But Auburn's underclassmen-laden defense has showed some legitimate spark in the previous few weeks, particularly against offenses similar to LSU's pro-style ground-pound attack (see: South Carolina and Florida). If Auburn has some success holding the line against Spencer Ware and Co. (and they should), a sudden reversion to Jarrett Lee's turnover-happy 2008 form or a series of uncharacteristic special teams gaffes could keep Gene Chizik's team competitive into the fourth quarter. And then ... who knows?
LSU WILL WIN IF: they do anything other than commit that catastrophic series of mistakes. The host Tigers are three-touchdown favorites for a reason, namely that Auburn's likely strategy of winning the field-position battle and capitalizing opponent mistakes is what LSU does--and how likely are the Bayoun Bengals to be beaten at their own game in their own house? As long as Lee continues to play error-free football, the defense continues to make up for its occasional lapses with twice as many big plays, and the special teams continues to pin opponents deep, LSU has precious little to worry about from any team that's not championship-caliber--and Auburn is far too young to have earned that label yet.
THE X-FACTOR: Lee. All LSU fans were hoping from their senior signal-caller this season was for him to -- to put it politely -- not screw things up for the running game and defense. But the former turnover machine has suddenly become a legitimate weapon, completing 71 percent of his passes the previous two weeks for an eye-popping 11.2 yards an attempt (a number which, stretched over the season, would have him second in the nation)--and against quality SEC competition in Florida and Tennessee at that. Lee hasn't thrown an interception since Week 3 and sports a 10-to-1 touchdown-to-interception ratio for the season. It's simple: if he even comes close to playing up to his recent standards, Auburn's not going to stand a chance.

We need MORE than the perfect game. Some luck...get some turnovers. Interfere with a punt returner, pay the refs, pay some players to make them better...you know the only way Auburn ever wins.

Severely disappointed in the Wench right now.

Fuck both of these statements...in da mouf.

Severely disappointed in the Wench right now.
Don't be. Like I said, I will be happy to eat crow for lunch AND dinner if we manage to pull out a Miracle in Red Stick. That would be fabulous. Beyond awesome. And I will be cheering my ass off in the stands.
But I just do not see it happening. Last year, Auburn was shooting lucky farts out our asses - ball bounces going the right way, calls going our way, players turning something into nothing... but this year, the team with all that luck is LSU. They have home field advantage, momentum, a smothering Defense, the Mad Hatter and a serviceable QB.
Plus, if we are sticking with the "historical" trend, I have been going to AU - LSU games since 2001. The last year AU won there was 2000, the year I met my corndog, two weeks after the game was played. Never, not once, has Auburn won in BR with me in attendance.

If we can't win it all, I damn sure don't want anybody from the SEC winning it. After last year, getting dissed by not voting our coach COY and naming a tennis player Male Athlete of the Year over Cam, fuck'em in da mouf. I hope they all lose every out of conference game and bowl game. Me against the world mentality is fine with me.

The realist in me says they are two TDs better on our best day and their worst. But with some mistake free ball, good special teams play and clock management we could do more than just throw a scare in them like Tennessee did in 2010. I know this is a much better LSU squad but we have proven that we can run the ball against some pretty good defenses and I'm hoping we are able to complete some on 1st down rather than be pressured into so many obvious passing downs.
And I think our D will hang if the offense can do its part in only half of our possessions. I don't know if Mason will play but I'm thinking we get one if not both receivers back for Saturday regardless of what is said. Scratch and claw on defense, keep 'em pinned and try to play offense from a shorter field.
I don' t care about the SEC after last season. It's strictly about Auburn for me. This game is the most important one of all. Nothing else matters and I wouldn't sacrifice anything beyond it because this game can change the rest of the season, just as the 2010 team grew in identity with each test last year.

These are some good meds THS. Auburn over LSU in their house.
I'm just gonna say that I wouldn't feel this way if Trotter was starting of course. Just the pass threat gives Auburn a much better chance. I certainly feel that Chizik putting Mosley in the game last week when he did was a great idea. Although it could have been two weeks earlier, the fact that CM got some live action before LSU should be just enough to keep CM mentally grounded and LSU honest on the run. LSU will still stack the box and dare Mosley to pass but I still like our chances because Mosley does have a pretty nice touch on his passes. Another thing, as GF said, our D is playing much better in all facets but especially against the run. Lets not forget that its at 2:30 and not a night game so maybe the crowd want be as jacked up and also maybe....just maybe....LSU is looking down the road to bama.
Anything can happen in this game as it has so many times.
-
LSU is painting their field purple for this game.
-
The other thing to think about is Auburn had 400+ rushing yards on LSU last year. I would think those Cajuns haven't forgotten about that.
-
I don't have a link yet but I was just told that Ware, Mathieu and another LSU player has been suspended for the Auburn game.
Right now, it seems to be a rumor.

I GOTS A FEELIN'. UH.
BABY, BABY I GOT THAT FEELING.
