Common misconception about the 2013 lsu offense

I keep reading about how Les will open up the offense when he gets elite talent, similar to 2013. I just wanted to refresh your memories. The offense did our players no favors that season. Odell and Jarvis were regularly running 1 and 2 man route combinations where they would both be bracketed. Mett was able to hit perfect back shoulder fades, and you had two all pro (maybe even hall of fame) receivers.

Yep. And Mett to Landry on 3rd and medium was pretty near automatic to keep a lot of drives alive.

He can't wait until we have two all pro receivers, a top 10 nfl running back, and an nfl starting quarterback to finally decide to throw more than a hitch or a slant.

The offense in '13 was not very different than what we have today. Yes we threw across the middle of the field more but we had an NFL caliber QB to make those throws. Still a lot of gos and streaks, very little screen, and TE involvement. We just didn't care because of the two studs on the outside making plays.

the only thing that opened up in 2013 was the middle of the field
other than that, the offense was the same as it was this year, just ran more effectively

So, the common misconception is that LSU's talent was so good that the LSU offense wasn't as good as perceived? Is your point really that the LSU offense was only good because of talent and execution?

Lets not get ahead of ourselves.

Landry has about a 0% chance of being a HOF receiver

OK, sooooo. . . Better talent + better execution = better offense.
Thanks for clearing that up.

Still ranked what, 7th in the SEC in offense that year?
Posted on 12/7/15 at 8:57 am to BigEdLSU
I agree 100%. Considering we had an NFL caliber QB, 2 all pro WR's and a NFL starting RB we still ran the same offense.

Under-utilized players, as usual.

Plus a pretty good Oline.

That 2013 O was beyond stacked...
-James wright has more catches in the NFL than he did on that team.
-2 Olineman fromthat team are starting in the NFL
-Our backup running back (blue) has multiple 150 yd games for the texans.
-Russell Shepard has a TD catch this year.
Decent compliments to mett/hill/Jarvis and, the cover of madden, Odell beckam...

Carried away, are we?

Well yeah man, if the wrs don't make plays your passing game will suck.
That's true for every fricking team out there. Why our fans continue to shite on our program with ifs and buts.
OK so if Jennings doesn't play in 2.5 games LSUs offense would have been ranked in the top 15 that season.

It was run. Run. Throw on third and medium or third and long. The offense was not opened up.

You speak the truth...I think we wasted some talent and anyone who disagrees needs to look at their stats in the NFL
Posted on 12/7/15 at 10:04 am to BigEdLSU
Yet those players were a shadow of their 2013 selves just a year earlier. But people expect the same results from a group of true sophomores. 
Posted on 12/7/15 at 10:08 am to BigEdLSU
The offense was exactly the same. We just had multiple players that are not only playing but excelling in the NFL.
