It prepares players for the next level obviously much better. QBs take hand offs from under center, and make reads similar to the reads they would make in a pro offense. RBs have similar looks on running plays as in a pro offense. I could go on and on at every position. This is a great benefit in recruiting. Look at Tre Mason for example. I was watching Monday night football and Mike and John were saying that he has not been able to adjust to the pro game as quickly because he comes from a spread offense. Tre got a couple of touches and is obviously the most explosive RB on that team and he cant even get on the field. Not to many teams run it anymore and this is to LSUs benefit in recruiting. I would pitch this all day to recruits! Last years recruiting class was amazing and more amazing recruiting classes will follow.

Do you watch the NFL? No team is doing what we do. Most of them are in the shotgun

TigerBlood is correct. Everything has went great for LSU except the state stopped developing SEC QB's. LSU has kept up with Bama until the NFL departures, even with them having the better QB play the entire time. Miles adjusted and continued to bring in guys who could graduate and still compete for SEC titles every year. Even our receivers are adjusting better to the NFL game, without near as many catches, as others.
Its hard to believe that an entire state can be in this big of a drought on developing its high school kids to be QB's.

Except for the dozen previous threads expressing this take.

So even though our offensive scheme is a liability, handicap, and outdated, its good because it might be a good recruiting pitch?


Jeez.



I would say the only way our offensive style is beneficial is that, if we get first downs, a big if, we can control the clock. This keeps our defense off the field and rested.


Unfortunately we are so predictable, there are a lot of three and outs.

we don't run anything close to what is currently run by offenses in the NFL. Maybe a 1970's-80's pro style system.

They line up in the shotgun way more than they line up under center and none run the I formation as their primary formation. Nor do they try to overpower the defense by running straight at them with no attempt at deception. Most pro teams gave up long ago the idea of getting the running game going in order to open up the passing game. They seem to do the reverse of that. A LSU style offense would have no chance of working in the pros these days. Defenses are just to good and talented for that to work any more.

Should a college offense be designed to win games or put players in the NFL?

AS far as recruiting, I would think that they would want to play in a system in which they get to highlight their skills. WR's and TE's want the ball thrown their way. The RB's want room to run and the chance to show off receiving ability (very important for NFL running backs not named Adrian Peterson). QB's want to show they can make plays and want to develop their passing skills. /The ability to pass block is very important for NFL o-lines. College lineman have to show the agility and feet to handle pass blocking and blocking in space even more so than just lining up and drive blocking the man in front of them.

The pros are a good pro style offense can control the ball, can control the clock, and when executed is hard to stop.

The cons are, it takes a real QB to be balanced and it gets harder to do things when it isn't balanced.

Our scheme worked last year. It isn't the rest of the SEC catching up to our scheme, it is the rest of the SEC keeping their talent while we sent ours to the pros.

Who gives a shite about the NFL? Is Miles job to win games at LSU or does he get paid to prepare guys for the NFL?

Tre needs to block better...Auburn's gimmick offense will not prepare them for the NFL, but Auburn nor doesn't care. The players what playing time in the SEC, exposure to NFL, no injuries and off they go.

Pro Style is a very bad term....half the NFL is mixing in college offenses (spreads) hurry ups, etc, etc
