Why didn't we use the offense that we used against Texas Tech?

That was our best performance of the season, by far. Yes, Tech's defense was garbage, but we played with tempo, used multiple WR sets and our offense thrived. Not only did it get fans back behind Miles, it was a very effective scheme. We won that game comfortably and the offense shined. Clearly, we have the players to run that type of offense and we've seen it in spots before. It makes no sense as to why Les continues to be content with a slow paced offense that either causes you to lose come really close to losing.

Because Tech's D wasn't on the field.

It's posts like this that make it apparent how little many of our fans know about football.
This was EXACTLY the same offense. The difference is the production we got out of the running game.
You can't get into your playbook when you only run 18 plays in a half.

We did, we just played a team with a competent defense that got us off the field in 3 plays.

Les wanted to thank Wisconsin for giving him Aranda.

LSU added wrinkles, but they were able to just run over Tech at will.

It wasn't a better offense. It was an incompetent defense they played.

i could be wrong but i'm pretty sure we ran twins out of the I-form with the WRs on the short side of the field
with that kind of field spreading, how could we lose?

The two WR's who consistently got open that game are not on the roster.

Tex Tech had 127/128 ranked defense in the NCAA last year.
We could field a team from Tiger Rant and do well vs it.

This doesn't really get talked about enough when criticizing the offense, IMO. The slow tempo is what disturbs me more than anything. We put no pressure on the opposing defense.

This will sound odd but I can totally imagine a scenario of Miles in coaches' meetings this summer shooting down suggestions that parallel what we did vs. Tech. And getting worked up and salivating at the prospect of playing SMASH MOUTH at Lambeau with his MEN vs. a quality Big 10 opponent.

When your OL plays that shitty, it doesn't matter what kind of offense you run.
Posted on 9/6/16 at 11:12 am to PortCityTiger24
The heat was off so it's back to business as usual.
Posted on 9/6/16 at 11:22 am to PortCityTiger24
we ran the exact same offense. Difference is, we were playing one of the worst defenses ever in TTU, vs a damn good defense in Wiscy. We ran up tempo against both. We run up tempo when we get into a formation that finds success. We had that success all night against tech. When we started busting off good plays against Wiscy, we hurried back to the line to prevent any subs by the Wiscy D.

Because Saturday's performance was a big frick you to the LSU fanbase. He showed everyone who runs things.
Posted on 9/6/16 at 11:23 am to PortCityTiger24
The difference was QB pressure. Our OL couldn't stop the Wisc blitz and Harris couldn't execute a play under pressure. TT didn't come close to that level of play.

Because diarse transferred. He had a monster game against TT
