Running into stacked boxes on 1st and 2nd down and trying to block 9 guys with seven isn't JUST an execution issue. It's easier for the other team to stop you if they know what's coming. It's easier for the other team to stop you if they don't have to defend 65% of the field.

This is a point that a lot of people who almost know everything about football make. Whereas a 5-step drop and a pass to a post-route demands that the opposing DL be nimble and alert, running the ball up the middle demands that they win a wrestling match against an OL. Running this play 15 times fatigues the defense, reduces the chance of a turnover, and improves ball control and time of possession. It isn't pretty and sparkly, and I'll admit that there are sometimes when I question its placement in the game plan, but most of you have a narrow view of the purpose of this play and don't realize how effective it can be.

No one is saying it can't be effective. The Ole Miss game proved that. LSU can line up against 80% of the teams they play and do this and win. What's plan B?

It's the childish argument that anyone who criticizes the offense and lack of passing game wants a Texas Tech offense. This is not true.

Try harder.
