re: We are not mentioning the main benefit to running a pro style offense

Miles has recruited every position superbly except QB. See Bama as well on this.
LSU was not only pro style but it was built to beat Alabama and vice versa. Others have caught up and now the the team with the best QB has the advantage, if other units are competitive. The SEC has become a mini NFL and u will need a dominating defense or a very good QB to win it all.

LSU recognized the La trend and went hard after Mettenberger, theyve been looking coast to coast since and thus Cam Cameron was hired. U can blame Miles for not seeing the trend sooner, but the Perriloux disaster cut deep at the wrong time. Crap happens, its what u do about it, that counts.
