Why is every time we put Trindon in the game we run a release? Why could we not throw him a screen ,wheel route or hand it to him on a draw?
Maybe next year.......

Because the coaches don't trust him to catch

They should bring him in as a decoy occasionally as the coaches did last year. Every opposing team knows when he comes in hes getting the ball, theres no element of surprise at all anymore.

If only he had hands...

He needs to be in the game more, but he doesn't have to get the ball every time he lines up. To be effective, we can't allow the defense to know that #8 is gonna get the ball just because he's in the game.

That's why I'm not a big fan of the situational substitutions with the RBs. Based upon personnel, I'm able to guess the plays we're running, or limited to running, with pretty good accuracy. If I can do it, then I'm sure an SEC defensive coordinator who is breaking down film for untold hours can do it even better.

No time like the present. Arkansas, the bowl game and the practice in between offer LSU a great opportunity to devise and incorporate new wrinkles into a near stagnant offense. If Crowdon is the genius many purport him to be then he should easily be able to implement not only Holliday but Keiland, Murphy, Mitchell and Tolliver more effectively in an aggressive, attacking offense. He needs to, IMHO, energize his weapons with fresh thinking and a hybrid of our current offense and one patterned on what they're doing in the Big12 and at Florida. I'm not saying we should throw the ball 72 times like Troy but that game sent a clear message about what an aggressive, well coached, spread can do even when you're not blessed with elite athletes. Ya know why Spurrier was so successful at Florida with the 'fun n' gun'...because he presented prospective athletes an opportunity to make big plays and win, ie., to have 'fun.' Guys like Ruben Randle and Joe McKnight see this and they choose accordingly.
