re: So encouraging to know that the Tigers will have a real Offense in '17

Lsu under miles ran out of more formation than 95% of cfb you just don't watch those other programs the way you watch lsu.

Jesus, you just don't let up in your defense of Miles. His offenses were known for predictability, lack of motion, lack of misdirection, etc.

Here's the report from NOLA in yesterday's paper:

"Landry said the scout told him that based on film breakdown, Fournette faced 8-man-plus defenders in the box on 67 percent of his 616 college running attempts. That included 22 percent against 9-plus defenders in the box.

"The average for this many (8-plus) defenders is 31 percent, so the attention placed on Fournette by defenses is unusually strong and reflective of LSU's unimaginative and poor passing attack," Landry wrote. "In essence, due to the offense he played in, Fournette was game planned for twice as much as any other back in the college game, making his productivity that much more impressive."

And you wondered how Fournette barely made it back to the line of scrimmage against mighty Alabama the last two seasons when he averaged 25.5 yards on 13.0 carries?

"I always liked playing LSU because you could just lineup and play them," Alabama defensive end Jonathan Allen told me last December at the ESPN College Football Awards in Atlanta. "They never changed anything."

There were few, if any, formation shifts. A man in motion was a rarity, unless it was an LSU player sprinting to the sideline to avoid the Tigers being penalized for too many men on the field."

I watch plenty of other football. You're deep in denial if you think Miles' cro-magnon offense displayed any variation, creativity, etc. But then again, of course you're in denial. You're just serving up your standard fare. You, like other apologists, give Miles way too much credit. If Skip hadn't pulled him out of Stillwater, he would have been a journeyman coach.
