Why don't we run a hybrid spread with the running game?

We could still run "spread" with a FB on the field to give a legit extra blocker for either BH or LF. We are build for power run, but we need to utilize BH to get him moving as well. He's a decent run threat.

Thoughts, ideas?

It's not a new concept. Ohio State, Clemson, Baylor, Houston, SMU all run the "Power Spread" scheme.

Personally, I think LSU under utilized the TE position. Based on your power run game, your TE should have easy PA block+release catches all day (similar to Arkansas and Bama). Everyone loads to stop LF or your WRs running deep; y'all should catch more defenses by surprise in the intermediate TE game. It should be there for you.

We have recruited the players to do it, we just do not have the coaches in place to run it.

why not just have 3 wr's...guys that are actually a threat to opposing defenses.

we can easily run a shotgun spread and utilize our qb in the read option and also run some I formation at time also. We need to be more versatile...if the power run is getting stopped have an option.

you will get very few legit answers and this will quickly turn into a "bash Les Miles" thread

i would think something like the power spread that Ohio State runs would fit this personnel well.

We'd still be a run first philosophy with multiple formations and options at the line.
