re: To me its obvious: Gary Crowton was the problem

Believe it or not, I think Crowton may be a good offensive coordinator in the NFL. I think his schemes were just too complicated for college and rely heavily on a strong-armed QB.

This year, LSU has used fewer personnel packages and fewer formations, allowing them to master their craft. There just aren't enough hours in the collegiate schedule to do too many complicated things with an offense. It's better to do one thing well than be jack of all trades and master of none.
