re: I'm not a true fan?

Points per game is not a great metric for offense since defense and special teams can have a great effect on it. In yards per game LSU is consistently bad. The only year since 2007 that we have been better than 50th was 2007, which was also our highest points per game and the only year in the past six that we have had more passing yards than rushing yards.

Last year LSU had high points per game but very low yards per game due to short fields and defensive scoring. Miles offenses are not good. They are average at best, and bad at worst. However the defense is so good that average and even slightly below average is enough to rack up a lot of wins.

The Miles philosophy is feast or famine. If we can run up the middle then we will win, but if we can't then we aren't going to put up any points. If your entire offensive production is reliant on being able to do something that no team can ever guarantee being able to do then you're going to have problems.

And part of the problem with the WRs is that the play calling has no rhythm and the offense is so tepid that they can't develop any comfort with the QB or any confidence. They may see one ball at the beginning of the game and then they won't see another til the second quarter of the next game. If you want them to get comfortable you've got to target them more.

I mean, everyone complains that we can't rely on the WRs to catch so we have to run, but obviously we can't rely on the RBs to get yards either so apparently we should just stop fielding an offense?
