what LSU's offense is going to run before they snap the football, what would be the reasons that Les Miles refuses to change?

Help me understand the thinking

I don't want to be negative, but it's time we deal with reality.. We have a big problem

He believes in execution, regardless if the d knows whats coming. He doesnt realize you can mix it up and also execute at the same time.`

Every formation we have should be able to have 4-5 plays run out of it IMO

Well if they know, every team we scored on should fire their d coordinator. I mean they knew what plays we were running yet no team could completely stop us.

Id be pissed if i was a fan of another school.

EL OH EL at the fact that you think the dumb shite fans we have can call plays before they are run. And as the other poster mentioned, if all of the DCs know whats coming how do we ever score? How did we throw for almost 300 against Bama and run for 250 against USCe?

OK. You don't know jack shite. Every moron who stands around me and claims they can "tell ya what bout to happen" are wrong 1/2 the time. Oh, you "called" a run play on 3rd and 1? Oh, you "called" the pass on 3rd and long? Genius! Fire the coach!

I would like to see some creativity on offense too. I'm open to a new OC. I've seen bad play calls but, you people are not the coaching prodigies you think you are

it's not quite that cut and dried. we have strong tendencies to run out of certain formations and pass out of others. this enables the defense to gamble with more certainty. they load the box against the run and can blitz the qb against the pass. no defense knows exactly what play you're going to run with the exception of short yardage where lsu runs about 2 running plays. when lsu goes to the wildcat it is 99% certain the qb will run the ball and this has been true since RP. hell, perilloux threw a pass ONE TIME from the wildcat and there wasn't a defender anywhere around; it freaked the D out. it also, might have been an audible because we never saw it again. miles hates turnovers so he runs an uber safe set of plays esp with our qb's the last few years. he doesn't need trick plays, he needs to break tendencies. also, did you notice bama's formations against ND? many of them involved multiple options where the qb could hand off to more than one back or pass. also, the ol held their blocks long enough for adequate check downs and then dump it to the rb if necessary. lsu seems to line up in the I and hand it to the RB 7 yds in the backfield or toss sweep it, esp in short yardage situations.

did you know LSU had the #1 scoring offense in the SEC last year on its way to a BCS NC appearance?
