I keep thinking of that 06 LSU game, but perhaps my memory is faded.

very limited playbook like that only works for a short amount of time typically unless you have harvin or some other type game changer.
these guys are good and they they get to watch film.
I agree regarding the second quarterback thing. but that's also an apprenticeship if you will. he's not doing it just because he wants to run a wildcat, he could do that with a running back. he's doing it to get some reps for the quarterback in case one of these 300 lb guys breaks Trash. it would sure be nice if he could do it and garbage time at the end of a game when we're blowing somebody out but you must have a defense in order to blow someone out.

No wonder there are some living in fear of what may happen this Saturday.

The way to beat ugly is to just line up and play football. No gimmicky cute shyt or "exotic" bull****. Just line up and win your position the best you can, and play with heart and determination.

Dan Mullen didn't do anything Urban wouldn't have done to his own players!

I have a feeling that’s why we saw AR in the game this past weekend. I’m sure Mullen wanted to “mix things up” with it, but he was probably also putting something else on tape for Bangz to adjust to(not that he’s had much trouble stopping Mullen’s offense before).
I wouldn’t be shocked to get that qb draw fake, or a jump pass down on the goal line out of it, especially with them being down starters in the secondary now.

It seems like Mullen gets tensed up and conservative in this game for some reason. The last two years he’s played not to lose instead of playing to win. Maybe some of that has to do with playing from behind both times, maybe some of it has to do with knowing we just didn’t/don’t have the horses to compete with them if all other things are equal. I truly believe he’s a better coach than Bangz, but Bangz is a better recruiter by far, and seems to be willing to make changes to his staff if needed. Mullen so far hasn’t shown a willingness to do that.
This Saturday is an absolute must win for him, surely he understands that. We already have one loss on the season, and so do they. The difference is that they’re unlikely to be in any jeopardy of losing another one beyond our game, and truthfully, we shouldn’t be either. This game is for a shot at Atlanta, and both sides know it.

While I agree with you, he did let EJ throw the ball last year against UGA and dude would have walked into the endzone had EJ not overthrew him. If I'm Mullen anytime I put our backup in I run a form of the wildcat. Create some misdirection so it freezes some lbs. Instead they always run the same thing. Get creative when your backup is in. The reason Tebow was so effective his Fr year was because 20% of the time he threw the ball. Bring back the step forward then drop back.

I generally agree with your thought on getting creative with Jones, or whoever is the backup at the time. No point in not keeping the opposing D honest. I just don't think it has any place in this game unless we're struggling offensively and need some big play to win near the end. We have the horses to not have to resort to that. The problem with any kind of one-off gimmick is that if it doesn't work, it not only demoralizes your team(last year with Jones, '18 with the opening flea-flicker) but it also sends the message to the defense that we don't think we can line up and beat you traditionally, and they can in turn play a little more relaxed knowing they've likely withstood the only attempt of that type play. I want to see Jones or AR as much as anyone. I just want it to be in the 4th with us in total command. If that's not likely, then it should be a longshot that they get in.

No, you're exactly right. That game was one of the few where we let Tebow have a drive or two of his own, and even throw a little more(2 TDs). The other two cases I can think of were against Usce, where we just couldn't move the ball otherwise, and Glendale. It just wasn't as prevalent, or as effective as is often spoken of and was typically centered around "need" rather than "want".
