re: Can LSU beat Ole Miss with current offensive philosophy ?

quote:The new term on the rant is "offensive philosophy." Please, someone explain what LSU's "offensive philosophy" is and don't use laymen's turns...use technical jargon. Every coach has an over arching strategic philosophical approach to football. If you have to be told or explained to what Mile's philosophy is after 9 years of watching him I pity you. But basically it's: - run first is the best option, passing leads to turnovers (unbalanced) - limit mistakes by the QB even if that means making him 'just another player' (not an on the field general and playmaker) - avoid turnovers at all costs even if it means shutting down your offense and major playmakers/producers (see Jeremy Hill comment in this thread) - rely on defense to win games, make stands late in the game to 'save it' and 'get victory' - sit on a lead, don't attack when ahead -win games by a close margin, point differential doesn't matter, just win (win ugly)

How is that working for Les?

One time I was sitting in the Superdome after a high school team just completed a 15-0 season and won the state title. I overheard a fan from that school say "I know we won the state title and all but we could have won many of our games by larger margins."

So, winning is NOT the only thing for some people.
