G-Gun

[VOLNBAMA]

LSU looked very vulnerable when Arkansas was in the "Wild Hog" Formation. Do you think we will see the G-Gun more this weekend or do you think Fulmer will put it away after 1 run with Jones. I think if we run the "G-Gun" effectively meaning throwing passes in their too, to keep the defense on their heels, we could score alot of points against LSU [if used effectively] which could ultimately lead us to a SEC CHAMPIONSHIP. It's just a thought that I wanted throw out. What do you guys think?

id love to see it....

I'm a hugeeee supporter of that idea.

a) My slight man crush (GJones) at QB, and can run, throw, option, etc.
b) Foster could be involved and he's been a beast
c) Wouldn't mind seeing some explosiveness with lennon creer/jones in that...?

No way I want to see a true freshman back there throwing the ball.

he doesn't have to be throwing the ball, but if he runs and runs and runs and there is a guy wide open due to that, i wouldn't mind it a bit

I don't want a true freshman back there against this defense. I love seeing Jones on the field but not at QB against LSU's defense.

It's a great idea . . . for Playstation.

he wouldn't be sitting back there to throw short passes to lucas taylor, he'd be sitting back there to have a guy go in motion and make something happen.

You know, I know, LSU knows, the world knows that he will not be a throwing threat, so why bother running it? Outside of La-La, we haven't had much success in running these plays because they are telegraphed and the defense knows they don't have to worry about the pass.

i hope we run it and he scrambles around for a touchdown first play from scrimmage.

then again, i hope we score a touchdown EVERY play from scrimmage

But the kid's gotta be able to throw. the worst play call maybe of the year was when we tried it against cal and ainge lined up at wideout, but it'd be different than that.

Another reason not to run it (esp. if Ainge is lined up wide). Everybody in the stadium knows that Ainge is not gonna be involved in the play at any level. Why risk getting him hurt by throwing a block or getting blasted in a gimmick play?

[VOLNBAMA]

The kid played QB in high school, so he can throw the ball plus LSU wouldn't expect him to pass the ball.

Actually, he doesn't. He just has to make a zone read and hope the misdirection is enough to create a running lane. I think it's OK to run maybe on 1st and 10 once or twice, but I absolutely hate it in key situations.
