If what we ran this year is what we have to run until they gain experience because our offense is so complicated maybe we should be running something else


Would you rather run the complicated offense that when executed appropriate is unstoppable, or the simplistic, gimmick offense that can be stifled by an effective defense?

We are in an area that produces duel threat QB's. Maybe we should go with an NFL style offense that utilizes that.


There's a quote somewhere from Stephen Rivers where he indicates his reasoning for transferring is because LSU's system requires a more mobile QB in the line of Harris, Franks, Patterson, etc

well I'm not against it. Duel threat QB's add an extra dimision. Just your bud and some of the other posters on here are always saying we are trying to shove a square peg in a round hole with our QB's into a so called 'pro style' offense

neither, we should just run something in the realm of what other high school, college, and pro teams run. Then if we want to narrow it down, we could run a modern pro style that utilizes the concepts that that entails. Personally I would like to see a power running pro style that uses some motion, shotgun formations, some power run out of the pistol, misdirection plays, underneath routes to the backs and TE's, some middle pass routes and over the top. Called QB runs. Keep it simple but give the defense something to think about and take what the D is giving . It can be simple or add wrinkles as experience grows. Giving the D something to think about takes some of the pressure off an inexperienced QB where execution of the offense doesn't have to be perfect for it to work like with what we do now.

That's a great response, provided you realize we did neither this year...
