LSU has run most plays (80) with at least two RBs and two TEs + two or less WRs of any team in nation. Next are Pitt with 59, BC with 54.

LSU was second nationally in 2013 with 228 plays where it lined up at least two RBs and two TEs + two or less WRs


At this pace, 2014 is easily on pace to break 228.

2013 had an experienced QB...can't wait to see how 2014 unfolds.

Amazingly, we are 2nd in the nation right now in Yards per Catch. So we pound straight into the middle of the line or we fire it deep.

i guess he couldn't add how LSU was the first team in the SEC with a 3000 yard passer, 2 1000 yard receivers, and a 1000 RB with only 140 characters

to say that is the reason our offense sucks is crazy. and misinformed. and over simplistic. last year, one of your two years, LSU's offense was the most prolific in the history of our school.

who cares if there is a fullback or a TE in the formation. they are there to block and catch the occasional pass. spread teams don't use them? I guarantee you they use TE's.

I guess you are advocating 4 wideouts on every play.

I had a thread about this the other night. Miles is predictable. I had basic data and the trend was obvious. The outcome was obvious too....

each year we are more likely to run than pas on first and second down. And each year our rush yds to yds per attempt have been decreasing.

These guys have access to play by play data that can easily be analyzed using a logistic regression to determine the probability of a play being run or pass based on a whole suite of data.

The whole reason for the decline of the Crowton offense was too many formations, which ends up being too confusing. 20 formations = 40 plays

You're seeing the results of THAT offense. Now it's 5 formations = 40 plays

Not saying it's right either way, but I think those years of straight up CONFUSION are the reason you see such a simplistic and 'boring looking' offense nowadays...

It's the classic Over compensation.

Imagine if we would have had a defense last year. We would have been the best football team in college football last year.
