SEC Championship

On the other hand, it would probably only work well if you ran some very "stock" plays out of it, to prevent our own confusion. I think motioning out of it to a passing formation might be pretty interesting, with Marshall's speed.

Wasn't it Royal at Texas who said, "We're gonna dance with who brung us?"

We've had a good year except for that debacle in Carolina. I'm hoping that was one that got it all out of our system.

My pessimist is still saying 'Bama 31, UGA 14. I just see them busting it right up the gut on us. That's what I'd do if I were them. Saban hinted in that interview Buc posted that their center can unjam the middle, with or without Jenkins or Geathers in the game. On the other hand, GSU followed by Tech might help us in that regard - the middle was CERTAINLY the focus in those games. We gave up yards but few points.

GO DAWGS!!!!!!!!!

Thriller, I have to say that I think the chop blocks got in our head. It looked to me at times like our big boys were trying to protect their knees more than getting off blocks. Can't say I blame them though.

I think both Marshall and Gurley are capable of executing a sweep or a swing pass offset from the QB instead of from directly behind him. Also would open the possibility of one pass blocking and one becoming the checkdown on pass plays. Just a wrinkle to keep 'em on their toes, because I'm not convinced what got us to the dance is good enough to beat 'em.

Can certainly wrap my hands around that strategy. They would freak out (well maybe a little) if they saw Gurshall in the backfield and you are right, so many simple things can be run from it. Like I said AU used it well with Brown/Williams.

Believe CMR/Bobo want that "fresh legs" rotation throughout the game.

Good point also that what brung us might not be enough......yep, good point....PLUS it would slow down the pass rush or at least stop blitzing with the LB's having to watch those two.

I agree, wlayton, definitely want the fresh legs. I don't want them both on the field as our base formation, just once in a while. Enough to keep 'em guessing.

With ya sadler......posted that because I believe that is ALL they are thinking in that regard.

Can't you just picture both "flaring out" for a swing pass??.....that's all you could hope for is to eliminate 1/2 the DB's in front of you with space. Now THAT would be interesting.

In my opinion, the PERFECT formation for 2nd and short.

Lots of great ideas everyone saying here. But whatever plays the Dawgs O called I'll take 4 yards gain on every play, pass or run. Keep our O on the field and Bama's O on the side line! And their D will get tired from Marshall and Gurley running all day long!

GO DAWGS WOOF WOOF!!!
