Ok, I am down with trying some new stuff. I also know that Lesticles kept the real play book closed.
How much of last night was sandbagging? My guess is 70-80% was the generic run up the middle, bubble left and right, and a few quick outs.
What is shocking to read here is all the negative comments. I left thinking that we could have easily hung 80 points on the Mean Green.
You could clearly see a shift in the play calling after the first two scores. Lesticles obviously toned it way down to keep North Texas from being shamed out of stadium.

I hope that next week, provided we are doing the same, Lesticles turns it up a bit. Lets say 50%.

GEAUX TIGERS!

We must have sandbagged in the national championship too.

I hate to tell you this but LSU opened it up last night. This is LSU's offense and for the most part the entire play book was used outside of a trick play or two.

Did you forget the last 4 years?

I used to think this, but the offense I saw last night was the same offense I saw in the freaking national championship game. There is no secret playbook.

THAT was the offense.

Bubble screens and pound up the middle with a set up for a stop and go now and then and a few deep passes mixed in.

We will see that all season. Get used to it.

Used to believe in sandbag theory but not any more. Fool me once shame on you; Fool me twice shame on me.

LSU offense will be effective on sheer strength and execution. Wont be fooling too many teams with our offensive game plan.

Its almost as if our tightends and passes over the middle of field are off limits in this offense. It makes me nuts.

Folks have been saying Miles is "sandbagging" against lesser opponenents for 7 years now, but the play calling is exactly the same no matter who we play. Like it or hate it, its just his coaching style.

I have a feeling the 2 guys sitting behind us bitching about EVERY frickING PLAY are in this thread.

Gotta remember, last night was the first time on a college football field for a few kids. No reason to overwhelm them.

And what reason did we have to try "open it up" against NORTH TEXAS? If we ever need to "open it up" against NORTH TEXAS, then I'll get worried.

And so what if is the same offense as last year? Did yall already forget last year we went 13-1 with a mental midget under center against arguably the toughest schedule in cfb history with that offense? I know most of your vags have been bleeding since 1/9, but it's time to put the big boy panties on and get over it. Les' job is to win games, not please you. I personally like watching us bludgeon our opponents until we "make their arse quit". (<< That was for those that still have Lord Sabans balls on your chin)

I know everyone in here was All-SEC/All-American, but I think a midol is in order for a few of you chaps
