re: Dandy's interview with Mike Detillier on LSU offense

For Brandon Harris to win the job outright, he will have to do it on the field. Les feels comfortable with Anthony Jennings because right now he is more comfortable in the scheme and will not take chances out on the field. It is part of Harris' DNA to be a gunslinger. He is going to take risks and Les Miles doesn't care for that part of his game. Les wants his QBs to be caretakers and not be the focal point of an offense. He wants the running backs to be the featured players. With Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry on the team, he featured Jeremy Hill, Kenny Hilliard and Terrence Magee. And he had Zach Mettenberger playing quarterback.

Last year it was all about Jennings knowing the plays. He got everyone set right and ran what Miles wanted. Harris is more comfortable with the scheme now, but that is still a big advantage to Jennings. What that tells me is that the offense will stay, for the most part, the same. It is not Cam Cameron's offense. Les wants certain features in it, and part of that is a power rushing attack. That part I say keep 100%, but you also have to play to the strengths of your quarterbacks in the passing game. To me, that is still a major question. I believe Jennings is the guy for Miles right now, and Harris will have to beat him out in the fall on the field.



So if Jennings is struggling like last season and we need some life in the offense, is Les going to take the stick out of his arse and let Harris pull a Favre?

What I read was LSU will not win another national championship as long as Les continues to run this type of offense. But even if you had to run this BS offense and you want your QB's to be caretakers, why do we remove the easiest things a QB can do like screens, dumpoffs, TE passes, etc. Why do we avoid throwing to the 6-5 WR's that are being covered by 5-10 DB's? Why do we run a basic running attack?
