Anybody see the Outback Bowl v. Big 10 #4 NW? It was a track meet.
Dobbs' read-option has been the best offense we've had since Casey Clausen and one no SEC team has stifled for 60 mintues -- including Alabama twice.
Did we just forget how to run it all of a sudden?
Nope.
I'm not a fan of trying to be vanilla and hide or save things for other, presumably tougher opponents. How about just run what you run and get so good at executing it with superior athletes that it doesn't matter whether or not the bad guys know what's coming? If you wanna hold back on a couple of "trick plays" and save em for your bigger rivals, like we did with Florida last year then ok, that seems sensible.
But otherwise, just go get real good and confident with your system and go run it no matter who the opponent is IMO. If we just tried the other way vs App State, to hold back evidently only run about 5 or 6 total plays out of the offense, I'd say the results were a great reason to never do that again. Jmo.
You have missed the point. That's a coach that has his team ready to play from the first whistle. They are executing plays. They look like they have been here before, even with second team players.
They r the favorite to win the sec in my opinion. They have upgraded in every aspect of the team from last year. Logically it doesn't make sense that they would regress.

Not one jet sweep.
Not one bubble screen.
Only 1 deep ball.
These are staples of out offense.
Suddenly we forgot how to run them?
Nope.
There's an entire year's worth of film of the offense with this personnel available. If they were trying to hide the playbook when they were trailing the whole night, they're even dumber than I thought.
Yeah, play it to where you almost lose, look like a turd sandwich as a team, and probably drop in the rankings. Yeah, that's playing it smart...
Butch/Debord clearly took out half the playbook v AppSt.
How many read-options did Dobbs run?
I don't remember any.
It was risky, but was clearly on purpose.
