That appears to be what we have. Is it incompetence or arrogance?

Changed whole scheme for 1 game. Begging us to run the ball. Daring us to run the ball. For you guys that still think it's our receivers, KJ, Will, or O-linemen and just will not listen to me and others. Maybe you will listen to Saban. Nah, probably not.

combo of arrogance, delusion, stubborness, and incompetence. I feel for all the older players. 2 years thrown a way b/c a guy was determined to run his RPO's and now this. I know this is heresy, but I'm sympathic to Kylin.

No they didn't... you can't change a scheme in a week.... they just changed how they called it. They didn't change the whole scheme. That's just ludicrous
-
Saban was basically laughing at our offense in the run up to the game so I am not surprised

He clearly said they practiced some of this 3-8 in the fall and all but told us that they studied Washington?s film and the trans before Bama this year.
They clearly prepared for the offense by practicing the 3-8 a little bit in the fall, and then implanted the same defense that the other SEC teams implemented in a week;
It?s not that hard to call 5-6 variations of the 3-8;.

We had 15 attempts for an average of 2.5 yards. Would you rather leach force the run and net 2-3 yards per play and then punt?

A key lack of talent in MSU fans is we don’t create great Memes, it’s a way to revel in the pain of losing while inflicting great pressure on the target. Clemson would have a library of Memes by now.
I am part of the problem in this area
I can only think about the Unfortunate General Mack. The War and Peace characterization. What. A. Dork.

Saban ran his typical hybrid 3-4..... Where he had zone on the strong side and man to man on the weak side. He rarely dropped 8..... But didnt blitz the LBs too much. When he did..... They always got to the qb one way or the other. But we telegraph our plays mainly because our guys don't understand the system yet. So it's easy for defenses to react. But we do have some players that still don't give maximum effort ..... Ridiculous.

His called run plays aren't very creative...

They dropped 8 some. But they didn't play a 3-8 anywhere remotely close to what other teams have done. They played bama defense. Lots of combo coverage. Even some man. While like any decent coach I'm sure they studied what other teams did. But they didn't copy cat them. Not even close.

I agree we need to be able to run the ball. No doubt. We just can't. Course we can't throw either. So there's that.

He needs to bring some creativity to the run game. Zone and draw doesnt cut it.

Yep, we've averaged 1.7 yards/rush this season. If I was an opposing coach I would be begging us to run the ball as well.

Zone by itself is no good without the QB being a threat to read it, a TE/Thumper to help on the edge or run Split zone, or an RPO attached to it
A draw doesnt really work very often against a team rushing 3
To put it in simple terms- our run game is Jr High/middle school level football.

Right - it seems like our entire run game is inside zone and draw. We did add a toss play, I guess. But it seems like a very easy to defend offense because the defense does not have to guess much and pays very little price for guessing wrong.
