Auburn Football vs. LSU: 5 Keys to Victory

Let Sean White be Sean White

Sean White is Auburn’s quarterback and we all have to learn to live what that, including Gus Malzahn.

You can’t open up a playbook that doesn’t exist for Sean White. In order for him to be successful you have to call the plays that’s he’s capable of executing.

Against Clemson and during the third quarter against Texas A&M, Gus Malzahn called plays that Sean White can’t run.

I’m tired of seeing these little bubble screens and toss plays. They keep creating negative plays for our offense putting Sean White in third-and-long situations.

White is at his best when he’s throwing the ball 5-to-10 yards downfield and handing the ball off to Kamryn Pettway or Kerryon Johnson up the middle.

I think Gus Malzahn came out with the right game plan against Texas A&M, but he abandoned it too quickly.

I would come out passing with Sean White. Let him get into a rhythm throwing the ball and loosen up the defense.

Once he’s established that he can throw the ball, let Kamryn Pettway and Kerryon Johnson run wild.

You aren’t going to get many explosive plays against LSU’s defense, but if you can keep pushing the ball forward you hope they’ll eventually get tired.

If Gus Malzahn allows Sean White and the offense to operate like this, we’ll have plenty of chances for Daniel Carlson to put us on the board.

It’s not the offense we’ve come to hope for from Gus Malzahn, but it’s an offense that can win us this game.
