I get so amused when I see this. He was trying to win the damn game. He had a lead and a great OL and all-time great RB. I don't see the problem in that he thought he could take this safer approach and be successful. If you recall, as well, there were some execution issues on 2nd down that hurt us badly...or his plan may have worked...not to mention he did throw it a few times unsuccessfully.
I understand you guys like the Baylor approach though.
no one wants the crappy spread offense. point is we didn't throw on 1st or 2d down in the 3rd quarter. 1st drive got screwed up with the holding call. didn't mind playing fairly safe.
next 2 possessions looked the same. successful 1st down run because defense was watching for pass or run. 2d and short we'd run and they were sold out on the run, guessing what miles would do. we lost yardage. then we didn't convert.
aggressive would've been to throw on 1st or 2d. that's all we're saying.

LSU's passing on 1st and 2nd down-
1st Half:
1st and 10 at LSU 12
(2:14 - 1st) Brandon Harris pass complete to Dillon Gordon for 8 yds to the LSU 20
2nd and 6 at LSU 34
(0:45 - 1st) Brandon Harris pass complete to Travin Dural for 14 yds to the LSU 48 for a 1ST down
1st and 10 at FLA 33
(14:56 - 2nd) Brandon Harris pass incomplete to Travin Dural
1st and 10 at LSU 33
(10:03 - 2nd) Brandon Harris pass complete to Travin Dural for 3 yds to the LSU 36
1st and 10 at LSU 42
(2:55 - 2nd) Brandon Harris pass complete to Malachi Dupre for 52 yds to the Fla 6 for a 1ST down (Flea Flicker)
2nd and 13 at LSU 46
(0:27 - 2nd) Brandon Harris pass complete to Malachi Dupre for 4 yds to the 50 yard line
2nd half:
2nd and 7 at LSU 28
(7:13 - 3rd) Brandon Harris pass incomplete to Travin Dural
2nd and 8 at FLA 11
(11:27 - 4th) Brandon Harris pass incomplete to Malachi Dupre
So LSU completed 5 of its 6 first or second down passes in the first half, and only 3 of those were "good" (the others left unfavorable down/distance).
Of those three one, went to the blocking TE and the other was a flea-flicker. So really, LSU only had one significant non-trick pass to a WR in the first half on first or second down.
In the second half, both were incomplete and in both cases the drives stalled (though one was followed by the fake punt on 4th down so still resulted in a scoring drive).
As best as I can tell, the only difference between conservative offense and an aggressive offense is that an "aggressive" LSU drives result in TDs and "conservative" LSU drives end in punts.

LF'S biggest runs of the year have come in the 3rd quarter.

It's not called be aggressive. It's called being a bad coach. You posters act like lsu isn't one of the most productive offenses in cfb. WE ARE. The running game has made us one of the best offenses in cfb, not the pass.some of you just can't stand or comprehend that we are successful running the ball not throwing the ball. We have a top 15 offense right now and you people want us to go away from what has made us a top 15 offense.
