In the lead-up to Alabama’s early November game against LSU, Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban described the Tigers’ offense as a unit that had evolved from the stereotypes placed upon it during the Les Miles era. “They’re going fastball, they’re playing tempo, they’re a lot more open formations than what they have been in the past,” he told reporters. “They’re not in the I-formation just trying to run the ball against people. This team is nothing like any team that we’ve ever played before at LSU.” Then, the Tigers scored zero points against the Tide in a seventh straight loss to their SEC Western Division rival, leaving folks in Baton Rouge wondering if LSU’s offense was truly on the path to changing from its run-heavy, archaic scheme.
